"A game is won by things that are not even on the stat sheet. I'm not here to score the most points, I'm here to see my team win." Karly Weathers on the impact she wants to make for @AlabamaWBB 👏

The future of courts has arrived

As an athlete, it's helpful to put yourself in your coach's shoes. If you're not performing in practice like one of the best players on the team, why would they trust you to do it in a game setting?

Versatile scorer. Shoots it well and can finish at the rim. Great kid, teammate and leader.

I was at a game recently and kept noticing a kid at the very end of the bench. He never checked in. Never took a shot. Never had his name called. But that didn’t stop him from making a difference. He was on his feet for every big moment. Clapping. Calling out encouragement. Living and dying with every shot like it was his own. You could feel his energy even though he never stepped onto the court. You could tell he knew the reality. He wasn’t going to play that night, and it didn’t seem to bother him at all. Because he wasn’t there for minutes. He was there for the team. His presence mattered. His energy mattered. His attitude mattered. It reminded me of something we often get backwards. We think our position determines our attitude. We believe that once the role changes, then we’ll bring the effort, the buy-in, and the joy. But it’s never your position that determines your attitude. It’s your character. Character shows up whether the spotlight finds you or not. Character encourages when there’s nothing to gain. Character understands that being part of the team is bigger than being seen. And here’s the truth. Teams, families, organizations, and churches don’t fall apart because of a lack of talent. They fall apart when people stop showing up with the right heart when they aren’t the one being featured. That kid didn’t change the scoreboard. But he changed the environment. And that kind of impact always matters more than people realize.

Had to get this off my chest…

Wheeling Central wins an outstanding back and forth battle with Steubenville 82-72. Eli Sancomb with a school record 50 points for WCC. Santino Haney dropped in 29.

I am so proud of the development Aubrey is making in basketball. It’s fun watching her and her friends continue to get better.
