“This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

    The quote by Winston Churchill seems appropriate for today's blog.  Meredith's last game for the season was Wednesday afternoon and it ended with a 1-1 tie after double overtime.  Here is the recap and the box score of that game.  It has been a season of ups and downs with more downs than ups.  This team never did reach it's potential considering the talent that was on the roster.  It seemed to me that the coaching staff and the team were satisfied with mediocrity in their performance and nothing was done to change that.  The most used phrase in sports "There's always next year" is appropriate to close the CMU season.  Hopefully there will be a lot of off season work on skills and attitudes with both the coaches and players.  Time will tell.

      Iowa Central's season ended last Saturday and although it was with a loss, it still ended on a high note with one of the best games that I had watched them play.  The post season all region awards were posted yesterday and can be viewed here.  I am certain that the players will be working on their game in the off season and the coaches will be out recruiting new players to replace the graduating sophomores so that Iowa Central can make a run for the top spot next season.
     I may periodically post to this blog to keep everyone up to date with everyone's activities but will not maintain any sort of regular schedule of posting.   I certainly have enjoyed sharing my thoughts with you and I think that it may have been the therapy that I needed to transition from coach to spectator with the girls.
