This is the time of year where executing offense and tightening up defense is a obvious need in order to win however it is also the time of year where a sheer will to win, and a willingness to fight, scratch and scrap to the end is often enough to elevate one team past another.
Its the time of year when one night of well played basketball mixed with relentless effort, focus and determination are not just words the coach sais in pre-game but are elements of the game that have to be implemented at the right place and time on the court.
Hundreds of hours of practice, countless summer team camps, tournaments and workouts, all of it to accomplish one goal. Making it to Bismarck next week to play in the state tournament something a 4 winds boys team has NEVER done.

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.-- Muhammad Ali--
