The Final Four is held Monday, March 13th and Tuesday, March 14th. Teams will play one game to get to State Championship
Well, in case you haven’t noticed, making the Final Four is a pretty big deal. The whole school community is aware of your incredible playoff run so far. More and more supporters will be at the next game. People who have never played or had an interest in basketball will be there too. Enjoy every minute of it.
For nearly all the players and most of the coaches. This will be the biggest game in your life. Each shot each possession will be important. But, even though this will be the most important game of your life, it is just basketball.
Go out and play your game. Focus on the fundamentals that have led you here. Don’t try to do too much. If you take charges, look for one more opportunity to take a charge. If you are a defensive stopper, give that little bit of effort that will limit their star player to one less possession or take one more contested shot. If you are not a scorer, make the extra pass. If you are a scorer, don’t be afraid to take that shot, but don’t try and do it all.
Opposing players and coaches know your team very well and so does the crowd.
Coach K mentioned that making the Final Four is like going on a trip to Mecca. It is an incredible accomplishment, but remember the journey that got you here. Remember your teammates and support them. There will be missed free throws, blown defense assignments, and critical turnovers from both teams. Stay together. Play hard. Compete. And celebrate your teammates.
Good luck see you in the state championship.
