PHargis Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) Coach of the year in district 7AAA was the last of Brown's worries. He is very deserving, but he isn't hurting because he didn't get it. Ask him if you don't trust the Lebanon faithful-his number 1 objective from the onset was to take those young ladies and turn them into believers. Believers in themselves, believers in the program, and believers in their teammates. He had one mission, to let them know he would not be satisfied with mediocrity because he expected more from them. He believed in them from day 1, and though it took them a little while to buy into it, they did, and it showed last night. Anyone that has seen this team play over the past four years will tell you that their record doesn't say anything about their heart. They struggled all year to come up with the "big upset" losing by 3, 6, 9 or whatever. Last night was their night. As crazy as it looked in the bleachers they executed Coach Brown's game plan and it paid off. Not taking anything from Oakland because they are well-coached and play hard, but it has been a long time coming for these veteran Devilettes and you have earned your respect thoughout 7AAA and your spot among some of the best teams in the state. We are proud of you ladies! My understanding, without any confirmation, that part of coach Brown's plan was to sell the parents into the program also. From this post, from the past, I can almost hear his voice now from the heart and what he said................................ He was a believer before he got the job and it took that. That is the best of High School Coaching and what it is all about. Edited February 17, 2007 by PHargis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2priceless Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I agree that the Lebanon coach has accomplished a lot this season. This is the same school who had to recruit kids from study hall to have enough girls to play a freshman game last yr and had 100 pts scored on them by MJ. The mindset had to be awful there........so to be able to win and beat Grandstaff was huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
