Mike Matheny Letter
As basketball season is approaching and I am beginning to start lining things up, I came across this link http://www.mac-n-seitz.com/teams/mike-matheny-letter.html to a letter that I had received a few years ago. It is written by current St. Louis Cardinals Manager, Mike Matheny. Mike has won World Series Titles with the Cardinals and is highly regarded in his professions as a great manager, a great baseball mind, and more importantly a great human being! Mr. Matheny wrote this letter when he was coaching his own children in baseball. It is very well written and something that I believe is very important pertinent to pass along.
This is something I will be handing out to my fifth grade basketball team and parents this year as well as my high school team and their parents. Many of the core values we try to instill in our Elk Basketball Program are touched on in this letter
I don't know how many people actually look at this blog but hopefully someone will come across this and find it as important and worthwhile as I have.

Year End Thoughts
Well, the Region Title game did not end exactly how we wanted it to. We fell 66 to 63 to Ethan, a very talented and athletic team. Our kids gave a great effort, left everything on the floor and have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Although we came up one basket short of our ultimate goal, this group accomplished a great deal this season and has left Elk Hoops near the top.
I could not be more proud of a group than these guys. They have given everything they had all season long and simply battled every time they stepped on the floor. It was a pleasure to coach them and make the memories we did throughout this season.
DVC All-Conference Selections are out:
Congrats to Heath Schindler and Nathan Krog for being selected to the 1st team as well as Trevan Farnham and Quinn Fargen for being selected to the 2nd team. Coach Erickson was chosen as the DVC Coach of the Year.
2013-14 Accomplishments:
17-6 overall record
7-1 in the DVC
DVC Tournament Champions (3rd in a row, 4th in last 5 years)
DVC Regular Season Champions (2nd year in a row)
District 7B Champions
Region 4B Runner-Ups

District 7B Champs
Well, our guys got the job done! District 7B Champions! It was a hard fought, well-earned victory over a very talented, young, and well-coached Chester Area Team. Hats off to Chester on the solid year and they are only going to get better in the future.
Our guys battled all night long, it was a struggle shooting the basketball for most of the game for us, but our kids stuck together and BELIEVED in the system. I could not be more proud of a group of guys. They are so humble and deflect all attention back to the team. They truly play for one another and do everything we ask of them.
We move on to play Ethan on Tuesday night at the Mitchell Corn Palace at 8pm for the Region 4B Title. Ethan comes in with a 17-3 regular season record and 19-3 overall. We are currently 17-5. There is a game that will start at 6:30 (Platte-Geddes vs Gregory). Hopefully everyone can make the trip, I realize the distance is not ideal on a Tuesday night, but we need all of the support we can get. Pack the Palace and make your ELK PRIDE be known!
I told the kids last night: "This time of the year, throw out the seedings, records, rankings, it comes down to SURVIVE and ADVANCE." -Tourney Time
BELIEVE IN BLUE
PLAY LOVED
