The district is on our mind. We want to have our two best practices and play our best game of the season Friday (hosting Spearfish). I want us to think of nothing else but playing Spearfish for the next three days.

We felt we were attacking the basket well in the first half and we took what they gave us. It just wouldn't fall. Either team could have had a comfortable lead but the shots wouldn't fall.

The main three for Brookings, they got the ball to them. The rest of the team worked to get them open. Their rebounding was intense at times and they'd look to get the ball up court.

It was a gutsy team effort. Our Central Districts reps, Shane (Wilson) and Luke (Donovan) performed well at the top of the order and our women put in a good effort too.

We've hung on in a couple of games lately. We came through at the end.

We want to go to the free throw line. We've been pretty good at the line, but we had a stretch where we weren't.

Bryan has enjoyed much success on the soccer field because he is a complete player ? a terrific goal scorer, but also the team leader in assists. He has a wonderful work ethic and is a great example of how well balanced and well rounded a teen can be.

We had too many turnovers (15). I don't think it was the press. At times we made poor decisions and ill-advised passes.

This is huge for this group. This is their first GDC win on the road this season.
