Cuts

I think the toughest thing I've had to do since coming back to coach at the high school level, is to make cuts!  Kids who have worked hard on their game but just don't have what it takes.  It is very hard as a coach to sit down with your staff and go through each player and make a determination if they can help the team or not!  I do think it is better to cut an older player who may not play much at all, keeping a younger player who you can try to develop for the future.  We are now 5 practices into the season and have only 7 practices before the first game.  With limited time it is hard to get everything in and to get ready to play!  But on Wednesday November 27 the Beaver will travel over the mountain to play @ Valley.  GO BEAVER!

Quick update on the volleyball team.  We had a very good year going 3-1 at the STATE tournament and taking 5th place.  Last year we took 3rd.  I am so proud of this bunch of seniors who came to practice everyday ready to work and always gave their best effort.  We had 3 girls make the ACADEMIC ALL-STATE team and 2 players invited to play in 2 different state all-star games.  Also last Wednesday our outside hitter signed her National Letter of Intent to play Division I volleyball at Southern Utah University.  All of her hard work, on the court, in the weight room and in the classroom has paid off.  She is a great role model for the young girls in our community!

I will try hard to keep everyone updated on the basketball team as this season gets going!
