St. Marys has a good basket- ball team and have dominated the State ln recent years, but you guys are betterl I have played and coached basketball all my llte, and I have seen both teams play, and you are the better team. You have more depth, more over-atl height, much more quickness, and you play together as a team very wetlt So don't be intimidated by St. Marys. I can alselguarantee you that you won't be out coached. Coach Ztegler ls as good a glrts' coach as there Is In the State. l-Ie has you playing the style that you have to ptay to win Qpresslng and pres- sure defense, and he does a great job ot preparing you tor each gamegl knowthat he has been preparing tor thls game since last summer because he and l spent many hours talking basketball last summer. So have the confidence that he will make the rlght decision tor any sltuatlon that arlses and just do what he says' . There wlltjbe times In the game that thlngs look bleak, but It you'll just keep playing hard and don't watch the scoreboard, you'It do tlne. lt doesn't matter tIiyou'reup ten points or down ten, just keep playing hard! g Sl. Marys has dominated long enough and .lt's time to put a stop to lt. I can't thlnk ot a better or more deserving team to take over tor them than Sllver Lake. Remember, keep the pressure on them and believe. That ls an unbeatable comblnatlonl I hope to be at the game and see the new number one team In the State defeat the Bears. But it I don't make lt, good tuck and re- member to bellevel Not bellevlng Is the only thing that can beat you. Best ol Luck, Coach Dartlng P.S.
