 Hello and welcome to the Jackie Boswell show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce, showed by Stevenson Woman's basketball coach Jackie Boswell. Coach, you're about almost a month into the season, hard to believe as it is. And you started conference play last week, and just talk a little bit about how the season's gone. It's been so far. Not quite as expected. I think we're in every game, which is definitely good and gives us hope of what, obviously, we still got a lot of work to do. We can't seem to finish the fourth quarter right now. So, you know, what we're going to keep plugging away. I have a lot of faith in our team and the effort that they brought to practice up to this point. So I know we'll be able to get it together. Yeah, I mean, that's the encouraging part is obviously the wins and lost records are there. And I know it's hard to talk about moral victories and things like that. But at the same time, you have to encourage that you've been in every game. You were in a game, you know, Christopher Newport on the road, Salisbury on the road. Both your conference games so far. So that has to be encouraged. You just try to figure out maybe that last little piece how to finish off the fourth quarter. Yeah, I think that's a, you know, one struggle that you have when you have a young team, you know, relying a lot on Johnny and Hannah right now. And, you know, the sophomores are still trying to figure it out, I think. But again, I have a lot of confidence that they will be able to do it. It's still early in the season. Again, you know, want to be able to learn from that win-loss record. And, you know, maybe we're going to be able to learn more right now in the position that we're in than if it were the other way around. Right. If you're maybe some of those games and maybe sneak away a few of those wins, you might maybe think you're a little bit better than you are. And maybe, all right, we don't need to put the work in rather than, okay, we've got to try to find it, you know, try to figure this out. You talked about some of the sophomores in some of the younger players should figure it out. You know, Cup, you know, Dania Campbell, you know, she's had some good games. Olivia Coleman, you know, again, kind of built a little bit off her freshman season. So just kind of, you know, what are you looking for for them to take the next step? Yeah, just the consistency. You know, they're both really good players. You know, and they're definitely the future for us. So we just want that future to be a little bit sooner rather than later. But again, I have no doubt that that's where, you know, we're going to be, you know, their attitude is really good. I think their confidence is still up that, you know, it's not really where we're right now. We have to be playing our best by the end of the season. And we just have to keep getting better every day. And that's been the goal. It's always been the goal. And we can't worry about the record at this point. We just got to keep doing what we're doing and whatever happens happens. Yeah. You know, you've got some games coming up, you know, two more conference games before the holiday break. We've got Marymount on Wednesday night, who's always a very good team and always a good battle. Yes. I mean, they're playing really well right now. They're bringing some good players back and a lot of experience. So it should be a fun game at home on Wednesday night. And, you know, we're looking forward to the challenge again. Yeah. And then finally, you know, right before, you know, right before the holiday, you go down to Daytona and play a couple tough games down there, including DePau, who's, you know, playing pretty well as well. Yeah. You know, my team looked at me a little funny, but we're always going to schedule the best teams. I mean, if you want to be the best, you got to play the best team. So again, I think we are one of those best teams. Yeah. And let's go down there and test ourselves out and see what happens. Yeah, absolutely. All right, coach, we wish you the best of luck going forward. And I'm sure we'll chat after you get back to Daytona. Great. Thank you. All right. For Jackie Boswell, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Jackie Boswell Show.
