[FONT="][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]Enjoy![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][HR][/HR]Hey guys!
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]Since I wrote last, we were just heading into state quarterfinals. Well, we have won 44 games in a row, which broke the 1994 Kansas 6A record. We went undefeated this season, which hadn’t been accomplished at Wichita Heights since 1977 when they went 23-0. That team included McDonald’s Americans Darnell Valentine and Antoine Carr. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]We have won the Kansas 6A state title now three years in a row. It was very special to win it again this year. The pressure was sure on us and everyone played their best to try and beat us. It was a great team effort. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]When I was a freshman I had set several goals. One was to go undefeated. My freshman year we were 24-1, my sophomore year we were 23-2 and then my junior year we did it, going 25-0. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]My other goal was to win State all four years; well, I only have one more left to go. Hopefully my two younger brothers can help me reach this goal next season.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]After winning state, I took a week off from training and practice but still went outside daily to shoot, so I really didn’t take off. Now I am getting ready for spring and summer ball. I play on the Kansas Pray and Play Players AAU team. We play in our first local tournament “MAYB Winter Finale” this weekend. I leave for Houston on April 1[SUP]st[/SUP] for the All American Championship game on the 3rd. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]This week I am on Spring break, so besides working on my game, playing X-box live, and watching March Madness on TV, I am also volunteering. I am on the National Honor Society at my high school and we are required to have so many hours of community service. I am helping out at the Wichita Children’s Home since I don’t have classes this week.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]A lot of people are asking me if I am going to change my list since Jeff Capel is no longer at the University of Oklahoma. I have also been asked what if Gregg Marshall leaves Wichita State. At this time, I am not making any changes, just waiting to see what all plays out. I am not in any hurry to make any changes at this time. I will evaluate this again later.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]See ya![/SIZE][/FONT]
