 Hello welcome to the Gary Stewart show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce joined by Stevenson men's basketball coach Gary Stewart and coach over the last month I think your guys just started to you maybe doesn't show in the record but I started to put it together a little bit and you know have some more positive results pull a little more consistency together. Yeah we certainly have some good moments and good spurts we just haven't been able to sustain those for long periods of time and that's been our detriment. Yeah we talked about especially it seems like the games that I see the whole obviously you were able to put together a win over all right team that's you know in the conference playoff mix you know one of the things I can say is it seems like you guys are all out playing hard trying you know seems like that that has been the issue the effort's been there just maybe like you said maybe some of those stretches. Yeah we we think the effort piece is not negotiable yeah that's something that you need to bring we talked to our guys about controlling what they can control and one of those things is effort and attitude and and that's reflective in in our team unfortunately for us we haven't been able to capitalize on some of the good things that we are doing. Yeah we've had some success against teams you know towards the top of the conference but we haven't had the consistency that's needed to to play in a conference that's always seems like decided by one or two possessions. Yeah and certainly look at the conference standings and like I think seven of the nine teams are still you know fighting for that playoff spot within you know a couple games so like you said some of those teams were at the top of the conference you had some success against you know for long stretches or even a couple wins but you know maybe a couple of those teams that you know maybe a little bit towards more the bottom you've maybe had a little bit longer stretches of inconsistency. Yeah I think maybe three of the top teams in the league and Widener, Arcadia, Lycombe we were able to to have some success like you said against those teams but but again the thing that I love about conference play is it's over a course of multiple months and it's it's a round robin situation unlike some other sports and so you have to be good in early you know early part of the season in November because we play conference games end of December and obviously January is a huge month and we haven't played our best basketball. Yeah going to the final week of the season you've got a senior night against Hood tomorrow night and then you play Lycombe and up there to wrap up the season were you looking for your guys this week? Well obviously exciting time for us anytime you can say goodbye to some people that have meant so much to you and we've had some great great moments and memories with those guys and so we're looking forward to tomorrow where we can celebrate those guys and and and then go up and say goodbye to a long standing opponent in Lycombe which we'll go over to the freedom side next year so it's a good good week for us and and obviously the competition will be stiff and and we're really looking forward to it. Alright coach and finally just you touch a little bit just talk a little bit about the senior clash you know some guys have been with you for four years and like you said just super super kids and the better lots of programs. Yeah I'm really proud of them you know all of them are graduating and they're going to really be productive citizens and whatever they choose to do. They're immensely talented and really bright people and fun guys to coach. Alright coach we wish you the best of luck this week you know starting tomorrow night against Hood and we'll chat once the season wraps up. Thank you Greg. Alright for Coach Gary Stewart I'm Greg Royce this has been the Gary Stewart Show.
