Mudhen Cagers Snap Losing Streak
January 5, 2008 --
The Mudhens hit the court Saturday Afternoon looking like a new team. After a long break and 1 practice the team put an end to their losing streak and started a brand new one by dominating the Tecumseh Twisters in all four quarters of play by a score of 18-7. The Mudhens were not lead by one individual rather having 6 players that got their names inked in the score book in the points category. Ben Davis, Jeremiah Gifford, and Kyle Montgomery lead all scorers with 4 each while Jackson Phelps, Brandon Montgomery, and Geoffrey Smith put in two apiece.
The Twisters had a hard time crossing half court with the ball behind the swarming defensive play of Gifford, who lead the Mudhens in the steals column with 8. He was followed by Davis with 4, Kyle Montgomery with 2, Brandon Montgomery, Carson Montgomery, and Phelps with 1 each.
The Mudhens also rebounded the ball much better in their third game of the season with Smith leading on the boards with 9 and he also had 1 blocked shot. He was followed by Davis with 4, Kyle Montgomery and Gifford with 3, Brandon Montgomery, James Todd, and Utter with 2 each, and Brodie Morris with 1.
The Mudhens will practice 5:30 Monday night at the Evangelistic Center. Their next game will be Saturday December 12th at the Tecumseh Old Gym. Come out and see the boys attempt to win another.

Thank you to all of you!
December 21, 2007 --
I know that I speak on behalf of all of the coaches when I say that we have the best parents and kids that a person could put together on a team. We want to thank all of you for the nice Christmas Gifts that we received last night at practice. I have told numerous people that it makes it all worth it when you can come to practice and games not only to coach the kids, but to also be around people that are just excited as I am to watch their kids improve with every practice. I walked into my house last night to show Jana what I had and in between all of the gloating that I was doing, I started thinking that most coaching jobs are tough to do, because people may disagree with your motives or techniques, but when I tell people that I do not have that stuff in our program they cannot believe it. As you know, I get into the sports hardcore, because I love the competitive atmosphere; for you all to support me by wanting to play games and tournaments and all the extra practices we throw at you makes it all worth it and I thank you for that. Again, we appreciate the thoughts and gifts and look forward to playing together for many more years. I know that stress ball will be put to use this coming season!
