Regarding the Freedom win last night, this is the eighteenth year-18-that the Lady Patriots have won at least one playoff game! In other words, by next season none of the girls on the team would have been born the last time the Lady Pats failed to advance past the first round.
I was at the boy's home game last night and I will probably follow the boys to Monroe on Friday (they have the opportunity to secure a winning season, while the girls already have) but I have to say that they have maintained a great tradition, even if they might not be completely satisfied with their record.
Tradition never graduates and every player who passes through a program helps to maintain it-even if they don't win championships.
