Hittin' the road again...

We are up and moving early in the fieldhouse this morning. It's time for the Eagles to hit the pavement again. This time up a road I know all too well...65 North...I wonder if they'll be interested in my favorite pit stops? Probably not :) haha Anyway, we are on our way to face the #10 team in the country after a heartbreaking and embarassing loss to the folks across town. This week will say a lot about the character of our team...do we have it in us to step up to the plate and face last week's disappointment in the face of a GIANT opponent? I know a lot of the guys have what it takes individually, but tomorrow will be a test of gut strength of our team as a whole...and I really won't be surprised if we show out!

This season so far has provided me a lot of opportunities to connect with some of the guys. Some returners and some new guys, different struggles and injuries have brought many through my door...some I've connected with better than others...limited only by own temper and compassion. My prayer is still that today I will handle stressful situations better than yesterday and tomorrow better than today. I feel like that's the best way to get after it. I really don't want to sit down at Wings on Nov. 14th and feel like I failed these guys again like last year. I've done better some days, some days are the same...but it's only game 3 and we have 8 more to go...so hopefully I can make these last two months count, because the lesson I learned last year is you never know when it could be your last time to make a difference in a kids life.

Here we go...

GO EAGLES!!! :)
