"We Are Who We Thought We Were"

"We are who we thought we were" is the Lady Eagle quote of the season. Yes, it's borrowed from the Cardinals, the previously unheard of team that came out of nowhere and made it to the Superbowl. And while we haven't won any conference games except a double-overtime win against Ronan, our record is 5-7, the best record Valley girls have had in years. And we are two games into the back half of our season. Our first back season game was against Loyola. When we played them the first time at Loyola, we beat ourselves and lost by about 20. This last game, we were up by 2 at half time and lost by about 12. We scored in the 60s! That's by far the most we've ever scored against them! We finally clicked as a team, and except for a down 2 minutes in the third quarter, we played 30 minutes doing the simple things! The back half of our season is looking really good! Last night we played Deerlodge, and the first time we played them we lost by 3 in overtime. We had about a whole down quarter though, and lost by 5. But it was a game! As long as we keep focusing on doing the simple things and playing 32 minutes, we will be a force to be reckoned with!
