At the time of this article being written, the Inman girls basketball team has won eight straight games after starting the season 2-2.
This is coming off a combined 33-11 record over the past two seasons, including a third place finish at the 2A Tournament last season.
Leading the Lady Teutons is Matt Harris, who has guided the program to the two-plus years of success.
“My coaching philosophy is that we always try to outwork the other team. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard,” Harris said. “The girls know I have high expectations for them and our goal is to get better each day.”
Last season was just Harris’ second season as a head coach, after being the middle school boys coach for eight years.
“The best memory I have is taking third at state last year,” Harris said. “It’s a big deal to get to the state tournament and even bigger when you can bring some hardware home.”
Harris feels right at home at Inman. The community values athletics and its shows by their commitment game in and game out.
“The entire community does a great job supporting us, we always have a great crowd whether it’s at home or on the road,” Harris said. “The town really traveled well to state basketball last year.”
