STATE TOURNAMENT: Catching up with Coach E - 3/6/2013
Coach E writes in from the road to the FCSAA/Region 8 State Tournament in Marianna, FL. They play TODAY.
FCSAA State/Region 8 Tournament
After having a below average practice at SCF before we left
yesterday, the team responded today with a great effort and
attention to detail. We are on our way for our team dinner at
Sonny's BBQ. After dinner, we will do some video breakdown on
Central Florida and try to get to bed early since we have to wake
up at 7am for a shootout at 830am. I think it is good to play the
early game of the day. Thinking about the game all day would be
tough.
I had a chance to watch some video on the teams we may match up
with in the final four. In addition to our first opponent (Central
Florida), Northwest Florida State College (#3) and Palm Beach (#15)
are 2 of the most talented teams in the country. I had the
privilege of going to the national tournament three years in a row
and our road to the Region 8 championship is more difficult. The
record of these 3 teams is an astonishing 81-7. That is a testament
to just how great Region 8 is. This is such a great experience for
our program, considering we only have 2 players on our roster with
significant college experience and we start 2 players who are just
18yrs old! Our team will have to stay together and really play at a
high level. We have relied on toughness, playing fast, and
outworking our opponents the entire year. Let's see if we can
get it done!
WATCH US LIVE on http://psblive.com/ at 2pm EST.
