Hey Jim,

 

I was looking at your site and I just wanted to email you to let you know that it’s looking really great.  There’s never really a lot of good websites or much of anything representing Delaware girls basketball that actually gives you a look a variety of schools and players, but your website does a great job at doing it, and I really enjoy reading it.  So, I just wanted to let you know.

Jim,     

 

I am writing this e-mail to applaud this fine project of yours.  I have been out of high school coaching for a couple of years and was unaware of the site's existence until our game at Brandywine the other night.  I assist coach Jones at Hodgson.

 

I have been reading all that you offer on the site and I am profoundly impressed by it's quality.  Your writing is exceptional and it is obvious that your intentions with regard to promoting girls basketball in Delaware are sincere, competent and way overdue.

 

You are right on when you referenced the communication opening up with college coaches.  While coaching at King's College in Wilkes Barre, I discovered that it was not enough to just go out and watch kids play to be able to properly evaluate them.  The kind of contact that you maintain on a regular basis seems to allow you a better view of some of the players and the information that you can provide a college coach is very hard to find.  Your unbiased view (evaluation) of the kids tends to lend credibility to your opinions and will build trust with the college coaches. 

 

Please keep up the great work. 

And Thanks!

Jim,

I am the head girls' basketball coach for the brand new Appoquinimink Jaguars basketball program.  We only have a freshmen team as of now, but we will be a varsity program in two years.

First off, I'd like to thank you for your coverage of DE girls' basketball.  I am new to the state of Delaware and know very little about the basketball programs around here.  Of course I know Delle Donne and Ursuline and Chelsea Davis and Middletown since they are right down the road.  But your site gives me an expanded look into the programs here.

Keep up the good work Jim!

I live in California now, but enjoyed some of the tournament at St. Elizabeth’s over the holiday and am following the sport as much as I can.  Your web site is a big help.  My niece will be starting HS hoops in DE next season and it is nice to see how serious folks in DE take this exciting sport.  Having coached both boys and girls, I am always impressed with the amount of heart and passion girls can bring to a sport.  Thanks again and keep up the good work.
