Good Luck With Your 2020 Season

Optimism is sky high this time of year as we begin our basketball seasons. Coaches and players have worked extremely hard with aspirations of winning district titles, qualifying for the playoffs, and ultimately earning a trip to the state tournament!

From my high school days when only one team per district qualified for the playoffs to nowadays where up to four teams punch their playoff ticket, the excitement is palpable. Many district races come down to the outcomes of games on the last day of the regular season. Still, other districts’ playoff reps are determined via tie-breaker games.

Rarely does any season go smoothly without some form of adversity. As coaches, we need to right the ship for our team when the going gets rough. Players look to coaches for direction in navigating these turbulent times. We, as coaches, are at our best when providing leadership and guidance for our student-athletes. May you all have healthy successful seasons!

Best Swishes, Mike Carrabine, 2020-2021 TABC President
