They've played in several tournaments, and played well. The question at this point in the season for me is "How well will the guys play together, as a team, to get themselves to State?" I watched the game last night, Siegel hosting Smyrna, and decided that they are moving along nicely. Was it really necessary to draw technicals before the game started? No, but who knew there was a correct way to run onto the court? I've played and followed basketball most of my life, and that was news to me. I will have to make reading the rulebook one of my New Year's Resolutions. It sure made for a nervous start for this fan. Whew! Glad they pulled together and played a winning game.
I was really impressed with the tenacity Taj showed, and Janeal. They never walked, always hustled. There were others hustling, but those two really caught my eye. Cedrick is so much fun to watch--as he easily blocks shots. I've learned, too, that there are certain players who seem to appear when we need a three-pointer. It always pulls Siegel Nation into the action. Well, heck, I like watching all of them play. This is one great team. I hope to see more serious play as the season moves along. Yeah, if they all play with the mind to play their hardest, they will be holding their own when tourney time rolls around.
Oh, and guess who we saw walking toward the locker room after the game? Keith Ramsey! Nothing like seeing the old players come around. I hope he'll take time while he's home to give the guys some encouragement. He's a success story from Siegel, for sure.
Tuesday night will be here before we know it, as the fellas travel to LaVergne. Then...it's time to host local rival Oakland. Friday night is sure to be a packed house and an exciting evening.
