Pushing Your Stars
PUSHING YOUR STARS
If anything, some thought, Dean Smith was a little harder on Michael Jordan every day in practice then he was on other young players, as if accepting his greater possibilities and his own limitless ambition and holding him to it, setting higher standards for him than for the others. Roy Williams was also always pushing Jordan to work harder in practice. “I’m working as hard as everyone else,” Jordan answered.“But Michael, you told me you wanted to be the best,” Williams once reminded him. “And if you want to be the best, then you have to work harder than everyone else.” There was, Williams thought, a long pause, while Jordan pondered that. Finally he said, “Coach, I understand.”

Fisher Tigers Top Dogs
The Boys Basketball J.V. team lost on Friday night to Fishers High School 40-42. The Bulldogs led most of the game but didn’t play well enough to finish the Tigers off. Darayl Jordan led the Dogs with 9 points, Dylan Whetstone dropped in 8 points, and Scott Hathaway had 7.
The Varsity Boys’ Basketball team played one terrific half of basketball vs. Fishers on Friday. The Dogs held the Tigers to just 38% shooting in the first half and only four points in the second quarter. But in the third quarter the Tigers made a run and the Dogs couldn’t recover. Poor offense, missed shots, and lacking defense by the Bulldogs who allowed Fishers to score 38 points in the second half proved costly to the home team. Final score 45-59. Jacob Eldridge led all scorers and rebounders with 17 points and 7 rebounds. Kurtis Runyon scored 7 points and grabbed five rebounds in the loss.
