My "B" team got their first win tonight, 38-14, which was really nice for a change, but the real damage was done by the "A" team, who wrecked shop BIG TIME with an 86 to 35 win over another 2-win team!
We weren't about to repeat LAST WEEK'S mistake!
The other team's coach was really upset, which, by the way, I understand completely. I mean, I can't tell you how many times some other team has laid a 40+ on one of my teams. You hate it and it leaves you with a big knot in the pit of your stomach, but you just have to take it, congratulate the other team, and thank them for pointing out your weaknesses.
I wasn't going to have another "let our foot off the gas and let the other team back into the game" moments, so we never let up.
Sorry!
Not only that, but we have a really big game coming up next week against the second-place team who, as of this writing, only has one loss. A loss to them means finishing second in our district because we lose the head-to-head tie-breaker and we'd have the same season record. All that said, we needed to use this game to tune up for next week.
Sorry, coach! You were in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong team!
We wanted to send a statement to the rest of the district as well. We want them to know that the old Cowboys are back! You know, the ones who were dropping 30+ point wins on practically everyone not all that long ago! Well, the pure fear factor to everyone else was worth the trouble.
Well, I hope it was, at any rate!
So, we're now 8-0 with one regular-season game to go, and then comes our tournament!
We want to take that one, too!!!
