If everyone will do their part, we will physically dominant our opponents.<br>Coach Shepard<br>(From a 1970 speeh) see accomplished for post season. Primarily, Longs focus is on attaining the Vikings first state championship. <br>In the conclusion to Dr. Sheppard s book he offers these final words:  & a tremendous fire should ignite inside you. Apply the principles learned and you will becomeck".&nbsp; He asked me if he could put the message&nbsp;on the players lockers and&nbsp;I said yes immediately.&nbsp; We talked about it all week individaully and as a team.&nbsp; We always talk about dealing with adversity to the team and now they knew it was time to stand up and be counted.&nbsp; It certainly seemed to work as we went on to win our last 6 conference games and gained the fourth and last spot in the plaoffs.&nbsp; We were 7-1 and the thre other teams were 8-0; we would have to go on the road for the first time in three years.&nbsp; However, the players knew that would be the case from the second week on and they were excited about the opportunity of being back in ths high. Brandon added.  It will take will and determination. You can't be afraid to lose. You can't go out scared. Just be determined to mow 'em down. <br>Last season, the LSU Tiger baseball team did not do that well in the SEC tournament. The team said not to worry about it. Regionals were what was important for the national championship. They hit 20 homeruns in four games to win regionals! That was a record. Brandon was selected to the All-Tournament NCAA South Two Regional Team. They hit 17 homeruns in the College World Series which tied the record while finishing third. Brad was selected as a First Team All-American and led the SEC in homeruns and RBI's. <br>Brandon seemed so squared away during our interview, I was surprised to hear him say,  I made some bad choices in high school. I got kicked out of school my senior year. But, I did some real soul searching. I realized God gave me some talent and I wasn't supposed to waste it. I got my life back together, went to junior college and then on to LSU. <br> I never miss class now. I turn in my assignments on time. I don't drink, or chew, I don't think alcohol and tobacco are part of baseball or life. At seventeen I never would have said that. My brain wasn't on the right path. Brandon is, not surprisingly, majoring in philosophy and religious studies. He plans on getting a Masters Degree with a goal of teaching and coaching at a junior college. Further goals include going after a Ph.D. and becoming a university coach. <br> I might play pro ball if it happens, philosophies Brandon.
