Thoughts on that game?

Yeah.

And, uh, again, another rivalry game.

I think, um, you know, them being a sectional opponent, and, you know, we could have played them up to four times if we would've played them at Greencastle.

So it's always tough to beat a team for the second and, you know, eventually possibly the third time.

So, um, you know, there's no secrets, and I talked about it, I believe, you know, on one other podcast, that all these girls know each other these days.

Um, they're super familiar with the majority of their team, so there's never gonna be any surprises.

Do you know anything about those teams? Have you had a chance to look into them yet?

Care to comment on that game?

Yeah.

Um, anytime, you know, we're playing at a neutral site and we're playing a good size 3A school, we d- and we didn't know a whole lot about them because obviously the old days of the WIC are long gone, so we don't play them in the regular season anymore, not in our conference.

So getting a...

Uh, and it's kind of a tough game too.

We had some travel issues, ironically, on the way getting there.

There was construction on the way there.

Um, that's, that's an impressive stat.

And, and that's, that's a tough balance.

Yeah.

And, you know, being in this business for 30 years now, it's always a topic of conversation with everybody that's in season.

What are we going to do during, you know, homecoming powder puff, you know, powder puff volleyball, you know? And it's, again, we always err on the side of letting the kids have fun and, enjoy themselves and they're going to remember those things probably more than they would a Shackamack game or whatever it would be.

Right.

So, yeah, we want them to have fun, but at the same time, you know, planning a practice and planning a weekly schedule is starting to become, you know, as closer, as closer, as closer as we get to the sectional draw, we start to worry about, you know, injuries and illness a little bit more.

So we keep preaching to them, but it's hard for high school kids, I guess.

What do we have coming the

And I'm assuming that keeping everybody healthy and injury-free can be difficult at times.

Yeah, absolutely.

And you know how we were when we were 16, 17, 18-year-old kids and We try to talk to them about it, about, you know, taking care of their bodies and eating correctly and getting enough sleep.

But we all know it doesn't happen very often.

But at some point it will sink in.

But, yeah, we had a talk tonight after the game.

You know, we have all the homecoming and all that stuff, powder puff.

Talk about the losses with Terre Haute North, Terre Haute South, Covington, arguably our size, but notably a good team, and Westville.
