March Is Totally MAD!!!
Teamwork, Determination & Toughness
* It’s a desire that’s born in the regular season. With hard work, that desire turns to drive and then gives way to a common goal, to win the 2010 Minnesota State Championship.
The road to the Target Center is well traveled. It’s littered with ballers’ dreams and missed opportunities. Many have journeyed only to fall by the wayside. Still others drive to GREATNESS.
You can only get there using teamwork. There is NO “I” in “March Madness”. The hungriest teams advance deep into the playoffs. Admittedly, there is a good deal of
luck, but mostly talent, toughness, determination and preparedness.
The journey is both emotional and physical. The weak are quickly weeded out.
Ballers will do what it takes to get their ticket punched to the Target Center.
Reputations are built in the post season. Clutch performances win state championships.
Coaching is central. Who will be next to make a name for themselves? Who’ll be next to
taste that thrill of victory? Will it be you?
