KEITH HARRIS, Men’s Basketball
With the non-conference schedule coming to a close, things are really looking good for our team. Things I’ve noticed more as a senior is how we stick together and we want each other to improve every day. Right now, we are 5-2 and are preparing ourselves for another matchup with crosstown rival UCO. The last game was an awesome game, but it was definitely disappointing to our team because we lost by one point at the end. This game won’t be any easier because it’s on their turf and they will definitely have a good crowd. We will definitely have a good following too, so the stage is set.
Just two weeks of basketball left before Christmas break and I know some of us are looking for a bit of a break before conference starts; night in and night out, it will be tough. We are definitely up for the challenge to maybe stir up some stuff in our conference and hopefully be a top team. Things are looking on the upside. Just like any team, we will have some bumps because basketball is a game of nights as Coach Hays always says, but it’s also about peaking at the right time. We have always started really strong and have had perfect pre-conference records and then come up short in the end. Who knows? Maybe this time is different.
Thought of the day: “I do not have to build a perfect wall today. I just have to lay a perfect brick. Just lay one brick at a time,” Will Smith. Don’t ever think a task is too hard to grasp just lay one perfect brick, take it step by step and you can achieve anything.
