Huskies

Now that our successful regular season has concluded, the Huskies enter the playoffs as a team all opponents must regard seriously. We have improved each game. All 5 of our losses, (4 to the 1st and 2nd place teams), were by the slimmest of margins. We have welcomed 4 new players onto the team (2 of which playing their first season of basketball). Best of all, our girls work together as a team. Libby and I have worked hard to produce a positive experience for each girl. Unlike a couple of our opponents, we don't maximize the playing time of our best players at the expense of our less skilled or less experienced players. Every girl has played a full two quarters of every game. In games we have been shorthanded, we have divided the playing time so each girl has had the maximum opportunity to contribute and develop. The success of the Huskies in 2002 is that all 10 players have improved dramatically these past 4 months, they treat each other and their coaches with respect and likely will continue playing basketball for the rest of their lives. I know some of the girls' moms (perhaps dads too!) wish they had that kind of positive experience when they were young! Go 'skies !! Woof ! Woof !
