We had good teams here my sophomore and junior years, but we fell just short of making the tournament. This year, we pulled together at the end of the season and reached our goal. I'm enjoying the ride. It's what I've worked for. Branson is nothing like Chicago.
Today is a fun, relaxing day.
Local kids watched us practice before we went to the tournament headquarters, College of the Ozarks, to take part in a Special Olympics basketball clinic. We worked with another team, St. Francis of Indiana, to do some passing drills with about a dozen kids, who really seemed to enjoy it. We didn't have much room because there were other teams and kids in the gym, but that wasn't the point. We were sharing our talents with kids that just loved the game. It was the most rewarding part of the week.
