173 is losing 7 (1 being me) seniors. We're losing the base driver, 2 coaches, back up arm driver, 2 heads of pit crew, team captain and basically leaders of the team. We've done our best to try an educate the underclassmen and warn them what they're in for (a little bit better than what our class went through 2 years ago
) They're awful quiet and it kinda of scares me sometimes, but some are already rising up to meet the challenge. Also, use your offseason events to your advantage. At offseason, our seniors step back and let the underclassmen do the work (minus one match, we still want to drive one match) It's letting them learn while we're still there to help if they have questions or need anything. We tried backing off a little bit at Championships, but it was really hard, mostly because we didn't want to. We're working on letting go, ok?
