Lady Coyote Camp

I realize that this will be, for some of you, late notice.

Next week, Monday June 27th through Friday July 1st, we will have a basketball camp for all girls that were in grades 1-8 LAST year. The camp is open to all young ladies regardless of where they went to school, as long as they comply with the UIL grade restrictions.

The camp will start each morning at the Richland Springs gym at 9:00 and we will finish around 11:00. Fundamentals will be stressed during the camp. This is a basketball camp with the focus on learning. There is a release of liability that must be completed before any camper can participate. The cost of the camp is $30.00 and all campers will receive a t-shirt.

Look for the ad in the San Saba News.

Questions?

Tuesday Night

Think about it.....

The Rules for Being Human

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a fulltime informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."

4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive there are lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better than "here." When your "there" has become a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."

7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie inside you. The answer to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. This will often be forgotten, only to be remembered again.

I hesitate.....

To post these pictures.

They do the floor no justice at all. Mr. Clawson did a phenomenal job. He is a very gifted artist.

The final stages of the floor finishing process is upon us. The workers return tomorrow to apply the bright and shiny finish. (poly urethane)

The floor will need to cure for 7 days before we can begin our work-outs.

Mark down Tuesday June 21st on your calendars.

At 7:00 that evening we will have a team meeting in the gyn to discuss the upcoming weeks. It should last about 30 minutes and all present will earn 75 laps. If you can't be there, let me know asap!

You have to be there.

How do you like me now?

Did you notice?

Something new at the top....

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectivness..."

It seems to me that I can say or do anything that I want without having to stand behind it. Think about it. Many of us have become world-class excuse makers. For some of us, it is the best thing that we can do.

The lack of committment, the ability to draw back, and how it leads to ineffectiveness got me to thinking about.....

Basketball.

You were expecting something else?

Some of you ladies tell me that you want to win and you are willing to do what it takes to win. I believe you. I believe what you say.

So I hope that you believe what I say.

Your heart has to be in the right place.

You have to be committed to the game and to your teammates. You can say those words without any difficulty.

Can you stand behind those words?

How hard will it be to not make excuses?

For some of you, it will be more difficult than your heart will allow.

For some of you, this concept will make you not only a better basketball player, it will make you a better person. It will give you the opportunity to win on the court and in the class room. It will make you smile with happiness.

Who dosen't want that?

Progress

We are getting there.

Mr. Clawson is doing a fantastic job with the floor. When I was there earlier, he was working on the center logo.

Ya'll will be blown away.

I guarantee it!

You can forget what the floor used to look like. That memory is dead and gone. This new design will be the best in our district. We have to get to work and make our team as good as our floor.

We want to be the best.

We will have a sneak pre-view for just the basketball teams as soon as possible. I will be in contact with you as soon as possible.

Go Lady Coyotes!

How soon?

Well folks, the way things are shaping up is that we should be able to use the floor on or about June 20th. Please remember that this is strictly an educated guess on my part. The floor has to be idle for seven days AFTER the last coat of urethane is applied. I am anxious for the project to be completed, but we are going to follow this painfully slow process to it's conclusion.

Looking at the floor before the new logos.

The floor before Mr. Clawson's painting begins.

The painter's tape can easily be seen from this angle. The blue tape will be removed and the lines will be good to go.

Summer Camp Info

I am working a complete listing of summer camps for our girls.....

Due to UIL rules, I can have zero involvement beyond these listings. Unbelieveable, but sadly true. I'm not sure that I understand the "logic" put forward by our friends in Austin.

Some of these start REAL soon, don't hesitate!

I will add links as they become avaiable.

Tarleton State (Stephenville)

Texas A&M (College Station)

Texas Tech (Lubbock)

Texas (Austin)

Don Eddy (Abilene, Athens, and Brenham)

Texas State (San Marcos) Adobe Reader Needed

Abilene Christian - Adobe Reader Needed

Baylor (Waco)


Go Lady Coyotes!

Inquiring minds want to know....

What's it going to look like?

The design that we expect to use can be found here.

Please remeber this is only a rough draft, but I expect the final version to be close to what you see at the link. One change will be the Coyote will be facing to the left, instead of to the right.

The lanes will not be painted. They are the most trafficted areas of the court and will show the wear sooner than I can for them to.

Does the name Clawson ring a bell?

We are pleased to have Coach Clawson's brother to work his magic on our new floor. Mr. Clawson is a very talented artist.

The floor looks different somehow...

As you can see, the gym floor is taking a dramatic turn for the better. The refinishing process has begun and before too much longer, we should have a complete job. We will have new lines, a new logo, and all of the old volleywball lines have been removed.
