Last night was not a fun time for the 8th grade girls They had such a big week last week winning the biggest tournament of the year for them. Then the big party at Tatum's house Saturday no sleep an all night-er.Then after school today they have to ride 60 miles in a school bus to Lamesa and play another game.I knew they would be flat. But they defeated Lamesa by a lot of points the first time they played and I assumed they would beat them again. But this was not the case. Right before the game the coach told them that Lamesa had beaten Trinity the week before and Shallowater has never beaten Trinity. That planted a seed in their minds this must be a good team this year even though they beat them by 15 points a month ago. It was never close. What you think is what you get if you think they are good they will play you that way. Maybe this is just what they needed to focus next week on Trinity if Lamesa can beat them. They can. Sometimes a loss is better than a win if it makes you focus and see things in a different light. And you can't be so confident you play sloppy and out of control. You have to run your plays and be disciplined on and off the court. Well we will see if they learn from this loss?????? Winning gives you the big head Losing tells you you have to work harder and that is the only way to get better.
