...came away extremely proud of our basketball team, as well as the pep band, cheerleaders, and crew. The guys played their rear ends off for 40 minutes...the hardest/best that I've ever seen us play. When we were up five with about two minutes left, I really thought we had em right where we wanted em. Coach had us well prepared today. We'll unfortunately have to put this one in the "shoulda" column, but I'm still proud of our boys. The future for Army Basketball looks bright.
The pep band and cheerleaders also did an outstanding job...they had me and most of the Army fans there yelling/cheering. I can't help but think that our cadets in the stands (and fans following their lead) really helped our guys, especially defensively. And our cheerleaders where 100 times better than their cheerleaders...no contest. Army put on a heck of a show of intensity, pride, and class on the court and in the stands. The atmosphere was electric (for a small arena), and all of our kids made me proud today.
We'll get over the hump next year...you heard it here first!
Go Army!!
Best,
MAJ Mike Helton
