 Hello, and welcome to the Gary Stewart show presented by Buffalo Wildlings I'm Greg Royce joined with Stevenson head basketball coach Gary Stewart coach you wrapped up the season last week you went up to Avernia for your regular season finale a very back-and-forth game and You know kind of store the season You know they were able to make a couple shots couple plays right at the end there But you'll be proud of the way you guys played down the stretch in the last few games. I was I thought we played well At times very well against Alvernia Obviously a tough place to play and and we executed well and and they made a couple more plays Midway through the second half and and that was a difference. Yeah. Yeah, obviously You know different you know the last couple games I said being like homie and then you know a tough loss to Alvernia on the road You know you look kind of look back on the season and that's kind of the store the season It's just a lot of those games whereas one or two possessions. I mean really that's the whole league But the same time, you know that hey We're not that far off in terms of you know, we could play with anybody well every year going into the league If you're gonna have success, you're gonna have to win one in two possession games And you're gonna have to win a plethora of them and we were in those games. So that's encouraging for us and Moving forward. We lose one senior in Denzel right obviously a significant contributor, but we we feel good about the nucleus of our team and We certainly have to add a few more pieces, but we also need the student athletes in our program to get better Yeah, there's certainly a lot to be excited about like you said some of the freshmen some of even the Your returners are back for their second year kind of stepped up and you know certainly lots to be excited about But like you said, they've got to get better and improve over the summer and you know add a couple pieces here and there Yeah, I think collectively everybody in the program has to have that mantra. Obviously, we've got a coach better we've got to prepare better and We're encouraging everybody in our program to work diligently and with a sense of urgency to improve Yeah, and then obviously like you said, you know, there's certainly it's not like the cupboards bear Like you said these three conference wins this year Lemon Valley made the postseason Messiah made the postseason and like homing made the postseason So that's certainly encouraging that the teams that you were able to be or teams that you know We're in the mix that are playing this week. Yeah, and even the teams that that We didn't have success against an all-bright a two-position game at their place You know that that obviously comes to the forefront because they won our conference, but but we do Have so many areas where we can improve Individually and then collectively as a group to to get better on both sides of the basketball but again, we're encouraged by some of the things that we did this year and And I think some of our student athletes have a high ceiling. So so there's a room for improvement. Yeah Well coach, I'm certainly excited to see what the future holds and stuff your program and yeah Thanks as always for your time of season. Thank you, Greg. All right for Gary Stewart. I'm Greg Royce This has been the Gary Stewart show
