Our practices at the beginning of the season started at 3:25 and ended at 5:45. We also had Two-a-days, which means that we practiced in the morning along with the regular practice after school. At first it was a drag... the morning consisted of running and getting into physical shape for the games to come. A morning of basketball practice would consist of 6+ suicides (depending on our attitudes), 6,5,4,3,2,1 ball handling, and some more ball handling. The afternoon practices were different, we would practice plays, 1 on 1/ 2 on 2 and so on.

The sacrifices we had to deal with...Our coach had a talk with us one practice, the day before our District game, he said I know you girls can win this... 3 more wins and we qualify for state. Thats it! That can become possible if you guys let it, you have to want it! That means you have to... sleep, eat, and breath basketball. No Boys, No Drinking, No staying up late, or partying. We can do this, but it depends on you guys.

Spearfish Spartans Vs. Douglas Patriots

Unfortunatley we lost the districts game 49 to 65. What a sad ending, we didnt give it all we had... when we needed it the most.
