  Speaker 1: the senior group as well. We knew it had been

  Speaker 1: twenty one years before the season started, and it was
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: one of our goals to bring a regional chip home,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and we did it. I kind of felt this team

  Speaker 1: was capable of something like this. How do you feel Sanders.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I agree. Our team has a lot of talent and potential,
• 1:24

• 1:31
  Speaker 1: injuries and illnesses and losses. What was the turning point
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of the season Sanders? After the York Tournament. We had
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: gotten everyone back and we had many great practices to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: maximize our potential and it went up from there. You

  Speaker 1: obviously play baseball too. How do you balance the two
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and what do you uniquely like about basketball Sanders. It's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: very difficult to balance both sports, but I am training
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: every day no matter Whatquketball is up tempo, nervous feeling
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is what I like about basketball. It makes it interesting
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: because the outcome is never one hundred percent. Do you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: know your plans after high school? Sanders? My plans after
