The End is near (?)

Haha. But, amazingly, we are only two weeks from the end of the regular season, and have only four remaining regular season games, three of them league contests.  And two weeks from today, we will be meeting to celebrate the end of the regular season at our annual banquet.

The banquet is a great chance for an all-program "team dinner" - we celebrate our successes, take stock of where we are as we head into the playoffs, and mostly, we honor our senior class. And the Class of 24 has so much to be proud of. Mary Cox (4), Mallory Ellington (3), Brooke Gimbel (4), Kenedy Jiron-Baker (2), Gretchen Lynch (3), and Stellan Stewart (2) have earned 18 Varsity letters, have been to a Final and two Quarterfinals in the State Championship, and have won two league titles, in 2021 and 2022. 

And we have a chance for those seniors to get a third league title. The Jeffco 4A league is very strong this year, and as we head into the last two weeks, FIVE teams have one loss - us, Golden, Green Mountain, D'Evelyn, and defending champion Dakota Ridge. There are lots of big games to be played, and while we do not ultimately control our destiny in the league, we can give ourselves a very good chance if we win our remaining contests - Standley Lake and Wheat Ridge this week, and Dakota Ridge on the final day of the season, Thurs, May 2.

My approach to these final weeks is on improving every game or practice - in all elements of the game - possession, shape, movement, decision-making, technique, managing the games, and mostly, sharpening our mentality into that of a champion. If we are focused and competitive at our games, and at our training, we will be getting better, and will be a tough team to beat! 

Sko' Cougs!
