Season Ending Thoughts
The 2009-10 basketball season has come to a close, and it is time for reflection. Our Lady Toppers are a very special team; I said this from the beginning of our pre-season practices. Their attitudes and work ethics are that of champions, and that is why our team has made great strides and laid the foundation for a trip to the National Tournament in the future. They are women of character! Our overall record was 11-20, and 11 of those losses came from top 25 teams in the country. All of those teams will be in the National Tournament. We have 2 members of our team who will move on with their new careers as their basketball careers at BMC come to a close. Katelynn Wright and Lauren Burgess have meant so much to our team and college. They will be greatly missed because of their basketball skills, but also because of who and what they are. Lady Toppers, "I am proud of you". You are a lot of fun to be around and coach. I truly enjoyed this season. Thank you for making it so special. Coach
