What it took to go undefeated

Matt, what would you say, besides winning, what's been the most enjoyable part of this historic season so far for Park Christian?

You know, I think it's watching the guys win realize what they're what they're doing what they're capable of and I'll always go back to the standard that we really kind of invited them to try to reach and we've raised the bar and like how we do everything like how we practice how we work in the weight room nutrition like across the board.

Knowing this year could be special, we really set out to raise all of those things.

And not that we did it poorly before, but to reach their potential, we kind of knew what we had to do.

So we set out to raise the standard and really challenged them over and over and over again in so many different things and watching them achieve the things that we've asked them to do which are not easy things to do and watching you know the joy that they play with because I think when they realize and coaches have talked about this when When you realize that the talents that you've been given, that God created you to have, that you can pour those things out for each other and then do great things with those things.

And I think when you realize that you have those talents and you're given those talents for a reason and they're valued and you can give them away and people see you for that, that's a special thing.

And I think...

Probably for us, one of the most special things is our best players are the ones that see that in their teammates and value that in their teammates.

So when they can be humble enough to really embrace the talents that their teammates that are just cheering on the sidelines have, that's a special thing to do.

You know, you're not the only undefeated team in Moorhead.

We're not going to play them,

Randy.

Do you get overshadowed a little bit because of the success the Spuds have had this year?

Rightfully so.

Yeah, we do.

They get a lot of coverage, but I mean, they've got... five, five plus division one players for playing for the gophers.

You know, they've done coach Feeney's done a phenomenal job over there with that program.

And they're, they're doing some really special things and they play tomorrow night.

So I think a bunch of our guys are going to go watch them play.

So do we get overshadowed? Yes.

Did they earn all the, uh, the stuff that they get a hundred percent? They've earned that too.

Besides winning John, what would you say has been the most enjoyable part for you during this historic season?

The challenge you put before the kids, you know, going into the year, you know, we feel that our section in Class 4A is probably one of the toughest to go through with Corey and Hutchinson and Marshall, traditional powers.

And we've been at the doorstep, and it's a challenge to challenge the kids to, you know, rise to that level.

And when you play them – three games in a row, you know, and stuff.
