State Ranked

The AP State polls came out yesterday and we are ranked #2 in the state of Virginia for AA boys basketball. I saw another poll that ranked ALL VA schools (private, prep, and all divisions) and we were ranked #22 in that one. So our team is garnishing a lot of praise. Our challenge as coaches is to keep our team humble and help them realize that these polls don't put banners (district, regional and state champs) on the wall. However, it is nice for us as coaches and for our players to be recognized for hard work, dedication and commitment. I'm very proud of our team.

Yeah! Enjoy and keep looking to improve. One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was from Coach Steve Smith at Orrville HS: to be successful in tournaments a team must continue to improve. Have fun working together as coaches to enjoy winning as well as identifying improvement! :-)
