What an unbelievable game last night!! A special thanks goes out to the parents and students, especially the Black Hole for bringing the energy to Titan Arena!
The players showed great resiliency throughout the evening, coming up with several clutch plays when we needed them. It took a great effort from everyone involved to get this victory. One of the best things to come out of the game was senior guard Ben Williams' comments AFTER the game. Ben was asked to talk to the Omaha World Herald and instead of speaking about himself the whole time, Ben spoke of teammate Sy Hueser:
"He's definitely our team leader," Williams said. "We got together when he
fouled out and we knew it was all on us. It was a good team win."
Great to see that out of a senior leader!!
Coach Hueser was speaking to our 8th graders earlier this week in practice and he mentioned that the 5 seniors have put in a combined 600 hours in the morning at 6:00 a.m. throughout their careers. When I think of this I remember what former Northern State player and current Northern Illinois assistant Sundance Wicks would write in his journal everyday:
WDTWT!- We Deserve to Win Today!
Our players were very deserving last night. Once again, thanks to all the fans out there last night. The players and coaches really appreciate the support!!
