This weekend (4MAY13) the Nevada Dream traveled over 4 hours in 3 vans to play the first place Pacifica Islanders.
We (the Dream) didn't have a full roster due to some players not practicing (so they don't play), we went to battle with the ballers we did have.
Well, in the first quarter we gave up 21 points which is extremely uncharacteristic of us, we didn't give up.
We went into the half down by 28. But my guys could have cared less (about the score that is).
Our Offense and Defense came out in the second half with a lit fire (we should have come OUT like this, but that's on us Coaches). This passion they played with allowed us to shutout the Islanders and win the second half 7-0.
But...a game is composed of 2 halves, not 1. While I'm proud of my guys for playing their HEARTS out the entire game, we have to play OUR game for the entire 60 minutes.
Moral of this story:
1. Play your game for the entire game
2. Never quit
