A lot of people counted BCN out this year but we wore that on our chin and it made us work that much harder. We were a gritty team that not a lot of people wanted to see because it was going to be a tough battle no matter what.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">PHD: Do you have any fun memories to share with us?</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<em>Every single practice was a good time for us. We had time when we were getting to work but being in my first year and realizing that only 4 years ago, I was playing as a senior, I tried to make it enjoyable and fun every day for the kids.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">PHD: How did your team overcome adversity?</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<em>With hard work and dedication.

We won a lot of games down the stretch because we could make our free throws.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">PHD: Who are some role players that stood?</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<em><strong>Zayden Roemmich</strong> - He was our glue on defense. Whoever he was guarding tended to have an off night.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<em><strong>Miko Koebernick</strong> - A 3 point specialist who was always ready for the moment.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<em><strong>Dylan Piatz</strong> - Our hustle guy.

Our two big boys, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2800486' first='Parker' last='Amann']</strong> and <strong>James</strong> <strong>Jewett</strong> will be missed as they were contributing on both sides of the court.

For only being 5'8, he would get into a lot of guards heads and make them have an off-night.
