 Hello, welcome to Jackie Bazo's show, presented by Bacoa Waddle. I'm here to show you the season's most special for Jackie Bazo. Coach, you were able to get a season to finish off strong. You won the final two games to make yourself postseason-eligible. And during the program, six straight postseason bid, when the season ended, you were able to go and pump the drill in the first games to talk a little bit about the season and the first and start. Yes, I mean, we were very excited about that. I do want to give all the credit to our players. I thought that, you know, they really overcame a lot of adversity throughout this entire season. So could not be more proud of them for getting the job done and trying to put as much destiny into their own hands there at the end with that win against Hood and Albright. So, you know, obviously, you know, making the Mac playoffs is the goal. But to be able to give that experience to go back to the ECACs, to be able to allow the seniors to be able to play a little longer is always just more important. So we're excited to be there. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, first stop, obviously, because of all of them, you've got the Albright team that, you know, has been pretty good. They would beat them in a few years. They would go on the road and be able to beat them. You know, to make yourself postseason-eligible. So that has been a good momentum in them going into the ECACs. And again, just a strong second half of the year. I think it was like 10-4, 10-5 on the last 15 games. So really a strong finish compared to where you were in the early semifinals. Yeah, absolutely. Very exciting. Like I said, the beginning part of the season was a lot of adversity and, you know, a lot of behind the scenes things that I don't think people really quite understand. And, you know, but we never gave up. I mean, even this last Friday against Cabrini, I thought that the toll of the season physically and mentally caught up with us that day, you would have hoped that it would wait just a couple more days. But it visibly caught up with us on Friday. And even with it catching up with us, I thought that we played so hard and never gave up. And I just, you know, in my 19 years of coaching, honestly, this might be one of the most mentally tough teams I've ever coached. Yeah, that's really good. Obviously, you know, you look at, obviously, you've been too serious with both 4-year members, both playing on the program and chance her, and you know, it's like a little bit more, I know we're talking about the past of what they've made to the program over this past 4-year. This was a tough class. I mean, every year at this time, it's always tough. You make this relationship with these seniors, and it is not hard to be a 4-year athlete and have all the demands physically on your body and not to mention that how well they do in school. We've been very fortunate over the years to have seniors that have done a great job in the classroom. So to be able to make it through 4-years is really hard. And I'm not sure that people really appreciate that as much unless they've been through it. So anytime that you can get through those 4-years and give back to the program the way that these two have done and just give back to the school and represent the school in such a positive way, it just really makes it even harder to say goodbye. So it was a very emotional day on Friday for everybody, but just so thankful and appreciative of everything that they've done for our program and our school. I'll see what you had a little bit next year. We lose two seniors, but we've got quite a talent in junior and sophomore class. We won freshman college arts combat. So a lot of talent, they're coming back next year. We do. I am very excited. I want them to take a couple of weeks off and kind of decompress right now. You know, we've got some work to do in the off-season, but our future definitely looks very positive. We anticipate in bringing in a large freshman class. So we have a lot of work to do to catch them up with our culture. But I believe that the kids that are coming back will be able to keep them up to speed in our culture really quickly. Okay, the approach again, you know, good season, maybe not quite what you'd expect, but I was, like you said, very, very worried from the mental, you know, the team was very mentally tough. Yeah, definitely. I told you again, we thank you for your time all season and we'll chat before we start next year. Great, thank you. All right, for Jackie Bajal and Greg Royce, this has been the Jackie Bajal Show.
