Our Team is TOUGH
12/16/2022 Christ Presbyterian Academy
Nashville, TN- It was a tough game for the Tigers this Friday. Rather than recap the game, here is the email Coach Olson sent his parents and players after the game.
USN Basketball family,
Our game tonight ended just moments ago, and I need to let you know what I told our players tonight.
The coach from CPA has been doing this for 20 years. Those girls run a sophisticated offense, and know each other well because they've been playing together, and intentionally, since they were in 4th grade. I have a 4th grader. I have a kindergartener. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. In years to come when our program is on the other side of games like tonight it will because this program was built on the STRONGEST FOUNDATION POSSIBLE. YOUR KIDS!!!!
This is THE TOUGHEST group of players I have ever had the pleasure to be around. Pro, college, high school, or any level. This team is the toughest. This team is the most resilient. And any success this program has in the future will be directly connected to the tenacity that Stella, Kate, Uma, Margaret, Tessa, Maddy, Liv, Yvonne, Nevaeh, Divya, Anna, Victor, Addi, Grayson, and Annalise have displayed, and will continue to display, all year.
I'm so proud to coach them. I love this team.
-Coach Olson
The Tigers are back at home tomorrow to face off against St. Cecilia Academy on 12/17.
