Tough Loss

Last Thursday's loss to Kamiakin was a tough one to swallow. It was such a huge game, and the stakes were very high. The winner of the game had a fast track to the league championship and the loser would have to battle the rest of the season for playoff seating.

The thing our boy's need to understand is that every team we beat in the first half is going to come at us harder than ever to prove that it was a fluke we beat them the first time around. kamiakin came into that game with something to prove, they came into that game like it was for the league title. We came into that game like we do every other game, we came to win, but we didn't match their intensity. I think a valuable lesson was learned in that game. We have four games left, nothing else matters, not being in first or second place, not how we started the season, not that we've broken the team records for wins in a season or shutouts in a season. The only thing that matters is these next four games and where we finish in the league table.
