(inspirational quotes from John Wooden, the legendary UCLA basketball coach)

"Never believe you're better than anybody else, but remember that you're just as good as everybody else."

"Failing to prepare is preparing for failure."

"There is great joy and satisfaction in competing against an opponent who forces you to dig deep and procuce your best."

"The very worst thing you can do is to beat yourself."

"You must believe in yourself if you expect others to believe in you."

"Do not let what you can not do, stop you from doing what you can."

The freshman team theme for the 2007-2008 basketball season is:
"Play like a champion."

We hope this inspirational theme will motivate our team during the 2007-2008 basketball season to improved skills and outstanding performances, new or stronger relationships, and many fond memories for years to come.
