Keys of the Game
Big game against our "rivals" this Friday. Here's how we see us winning (funny I know)
1. Find an Offense- and if we've actually got one run it. Even if we get behind. No more jacking up 40-footers when we are down 15. You are not Larry Bird. (God bless the basketball Jesus)

2. Get Our Reserves into the Game- we have got 32 players, use them.

3. Run the Court/PRESS- for the love of God we have got 32 players.

4. Prayer- its a STEUBENVILLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. Have you seen the crime rate? Or the high school sports?

That's it for now, analysis will come after the game. See you at the Tailgate!
