The southwestern conference lost 2 great girls basketball coaches lately!!
Congrats to Lori Blade of Edwardsville and Lori Billy of Collinsville for your incredible coaching careers!! 2 Coaches who had their teams prepared to play every night! You both deserve a nice farewell!
Coaches: Some kids have it harder than others. You know which kids life has kicked a few times. Those kids need extra. Be the person they can count on to listen, offer a shoulder & guidance. You can’t change their circumstances, but, by caring, you might just change their lives!
I have no words except
WE WILL SEE YOU THURSDAY NIGHT IN PEKIN!!

A 3-pointer from Shannon Dowell just before the third quarter buzzer pushed ISU to 74 points, doubling up CSU's 37.
Dowell continued the strong start to her freshman season by tallying 11 points, four rebounds and four assists in the win.
I want to thank my good friend Jeff Harris , Dean Koopman and Jeff Weik for building this beautiful state championship bracket board frame !! Thanks for donating your time and your woodworking skills!!
It looks awesome!!
Regardless of the circumstances: whether you feel you’re ready for varsity or whether you play JV until Christmas; whether it’s an exhibition, practice, scrimmage or game, the mindset is the same. Prepare. Compete. Dominate. Don’t ever let the circumstances dictate your actions!
Mascoutah girls semi finals is as good as it gets

What an awesome birthday night at the panther dome!! The lady panthers win 56-20 over Collinsville and are co/ champions of the southwestern conference
Shannon Dowell breaks 2 Oths scoring records
Most points in a season (693)and most points in a career (1744)
Work in silence!!
Don’t show or tell anyone what your doing! Let your performance this summer and upcoming season show all your hard work you put in!
Don’t worry about all the social media stuff!! Press clippings mean nothing!!
When season is over, take 1-2 wks off to let your body/mind rest. More isn’t better right now. Focus on spending time w/ family & friends, getting academics on point, extra sleep, eat well, work on flexibility & get with your athletic trainer & take care of any nagging injuries.

Don't compare your child to others.

Should be a great atmosphere!!
Tip for the day !
Free throws make up 25% of the total score for an average game.
Start practicing and focusing more on
Your free throws!
You need to be 80% or better
Such a lost art!!

Players have 2 choices: Either pout or prepare. Whether you play or don’t play, whether you win or lose, you will never regret working hard, making commitments, being disciplined or focusing too much. These skills not only prepare you for your game, but will prepare you for life!

And special parents!!

Winning is fun... Sure. But winning is not the point. Wanting to win is the point. Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you've done is the point. Pat summit
