How Bad Do You Want It?

Success Part 2

"Our Deepest Fear" by Marianne Williamson

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Brownsburg Bounces Back vs. Southport

Offensive movement, team defense, and execution of a game plan resulted in a different team and different result Saturday night as the Bulldogs beat Southport 71-48. Mycah Whetstone knocked down six points and Evan Finley pounded home six as the Dogs jumped out to a strong start while Kenyatta Hardy and Chase Dutra slowed Southport's Div I signees to one field goal each. After a K.J. Walton drive and finish at the buzzer, the Dogs took an 18-5 first quarter lead. Whetstone continued his hot streak in the second quarter connecting for seven of the Dogs' 16 second quarter points. The Dogs went to the locker room with a 34-20 lead. Chase Dutra stepped to the F.T. line in the third going 8-8 and adding a bucket for a 10 point quarter. The Dogs worked to slow Soutport who cut the lead to 12. Bulldog team defense at the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth quarter created more separation as the Dogs finished the game 18-18 from the free-throw line. Mycah Whetstone led all scorers with 19 going 7-10 from the field, grabbing four boards, dishing out two assists, taking two charges and leading the team in deflections. Chase Dutra added 18, going 10-10 from the line, grabbed nine rebounds, and nabbing four steals. Kenyatta Hardy, K.J. Walton, and Trevor Lucas slowed down Ball State Shooter Michael Ramey, while Chase Dutra and Darrian Ringo corralled Kent State Point Guard Kelon Thomas. Evan Finley scored a career high 12 points while playing solid defense. Trevor Lucas dropped in seven points. Kyle Thompson scored six points; Sam Comer drained a three ball; and K.J. Walton drove in a bucket. The Dogs move to 1-1 on the season and begin HCC play this Friday vs. Fishers.
