My Second Take

Well maybe not. I agree with most everything in your post. You just say it better than I did.

...I agree JY has a good chance of being number 1 with or without competing
with Sabrina. But she still needs to take the bull by the horns and charge
on.

...She is very quiet and leads by example. Nothing wrong with that. However,
with the team being so young next year. She will need to be a little
more outgoing. I know she can do it. She is a natural.

...The only point I disagree on but that is what makes the boards so
interesting and fun, and that is Jess.

...Maybe I look at thinks differently than you. I am not just looking at her
skills on the court. But also her heart and drive to win. Granted, I have
not seen Smith play as much as I have Jess. I also maybe off when I say
Jess seems to be a little ahead of Smith in the conditioning.

...Again, these points are from my perspective.

...Heck, I was never the best BB on the court. In fact, the darn turtle was
always picked over me. I even tried to blind fold him before the practice.
Did not work.

...However, I have played a lot of sports and have watched a lot of sports.
Have come to be neutral but pretty good judge in an athlete.

...What I despise the most is an athlete that has all the talent in the world.
But fails to use it. Likes the short cuts and also loafs.

...As an example. If you remember Dick Allen from the old Phillies. 1964
rookie of the year. He had the talent to be the next great player with
the Phillies. He had one problem. He liked the horses and owned one. When
the team had a game he was at the races. Well everyone knew it including
the fans. Of course the fans let him know it by not just booing but
throwing glass bottles at him. He had to wear a helmet in the OF.

...Point is. He wasted his talent in Phillie and they had to trade him.

...The players ahead of ours deserve their honor. They are outstanding
players important to their teams success. I just believe in our players
also. Got to stick up for them. Plus I wanted to put a little story in
there.

...My kids run and hide when I start a sentence off with the words, "That
Reminds Me"... They know a long story is coming. Can not help myself. God
give me a mouth for a reason other than eating.
