It is often said that the moment you give up is the moment you would’ve overcome if you hadn’t given up in the first place. It is quite possible that that statement could’ve applied to TCS’ middle school girls basketball team. The season had been a 3 month struggle for TCS’ young lady Tigers as close loss after close loss piled up. Head coach Charlie Miller, assistant coach Bob Sanislo, and a very tired yet determined group of TCS Lady Tigers headed to Vineland, New Jersey for the annual end-of-season Crusader Classic Invitational Tournament.
