Random shpeel.

Hey, so I'm not a usually blogger, but I I've been thinking a lot about Sectionals lately (god knows why...). We always say how Sectionals is the reason we've been working so hard, Sectionals is our goal, Sectionals is why we have extra conditioning practices twice a week, etc.

The more I think about it, I realize Sectionals isn't whats driving me. After not making Regionals last year, I was fuckin pissed, and during the fall I was thinking about Sectionals all the time (probably to an unhealthy degree). But since the spring season started, that hasn't been what's lighting the fire under my ass, pushing me through sprints. Because we're good enough to make Regionals. Everyone on our team and every team in our section knows that we deserve a spot at Regionals. Obviously, that doesn't mean we can slack off; that means we have to go out this weekend, play our game, and show that it's not already our bid to lose; it's our bid to win. We have to prove we're the one seed.

But that's still not what's driving me. Ever since the spring started, I've been thinking about one thing, and one thing only while busting my ass up those stairs; the bus-ride to the fields on sunday morning of Regionals.

I don't know where we'll be in terms of ranking if we make Regionals. I don't know if the first day we'll pull out huge upsets or lose some games we should have won. But I know that where we deserve to be, where this team deserves to be, sunday morning of Regionals, is playing for a bid to Nationals. Even if it means winning every one of our sunday games against higher ranked opponents, some way, some how, Haze deserves to have a shot at Nationals come sunday morning. And that's what keeps me going when I'm tired, keeps me focused at practice, and fucking keeps me up at night.

Let's do it Haze.
