Vikes go 3-0 at Southlake SQT

Nice job overall by the Vikings Saturday as we got some good work done in the heat playing back to back games at 1/2/3:00 pm. I was particularly pleased with the play of some of our younger and role players Saturday-we learned a lot as a coaching staff about some of the kids-remember we are still getting to know them as a group. Our offensive execution efficiency was very good and our average defensive stops per game ratio of 3.3 with a goal of 4.0 was decent too. Our goal is to score every time we have the ball on offense and to get two stops per HALF defensively.  We have not played any elite teams yet so our challenge is to push ourselves to play to our potential and not to the competition. We cannot let teams "hang around"-we have to play with higher intensity from start to finish.

The next three tournaments and practices are very key to what kind of success we will have in College Station. This group has a lot of potential-it is our job to identify the 20 players (travel limit) that can consistently play at an elite level as a group in the State Tournament. State is a grueling 2-days with up to 8 games against very strong competition. The key is to be able to call on all 20 players to make plays when needed.
