WHO ARE YOU?

To say this season has been 'difficult' would be an understatement. Chemistry issues have plagued this team from Day 1 and doesn't seem to have gotten to be any better as we close in on our final game.

For the past few seasons, being a member of this team meant you were part of something special... something different, that set our team apart from all the other teams we played.

Our chemistry was special. Our 133-32 record against far larger schools (past six seasons) reflects that. Our four National Final Four appearances reflect that.

So what has suddenly happened that changes that?

I once heard a quote from a movie that sums it up nicely... "Peter Parker has to put on his costume to become Spiderman... Bruce Wayne has to put on his costume to become Batman... but Superman already IS Superman... he doesn't need a costume."

The point is this, wearing Lady Lion gear doesn't make you a Lady Lion. Being a LL means you are disciplined and determined to give 100% effort at all times. That means in the classroom as well as the court. That means in the way that you represent your team through your words and actions both at school and away from school. That means that your team ALWAYS comes first.

The veteran players on our team have the responsibility to not only uphold those standards in their own behavior, but to ensure they continually set the example for those newer players to follow.
