As the boys’ basketball team prepares for the
season, they are taking a new approach with their game plan.
“We’ve been working on our ball handling, and shooting
more threes since we won’t be able to rebound against other teams like we used
to without Chase and Luke, “sophomore Nick Hicks said.
Since Chase Johnson and Luke Layhew left, two spots
opened up which will most likely by Nathan Hall and Ty Johnson.
They have plenty of time to practices since their
first game is December 8.
“The game is going to be more exciting to watch since
we’re going to have a faster pace than last year,” said Senior Jamison Hunt.
The team’s goal is to make the playoffs, and they have
been working hard to reach that goal.
“It all starts in the weight room; we have to get
faster and stronger before the season starts. We’ve all been working hard to
make the playoffs,” Hicks stated.
Some players have been stepping up during the
offseason too.
“Eli Casto and Cyrus Casto have stepped up. Eli is
becoming a more complete shooter, and Cyrus is a smart player who can pass the
ball really well,” said Hunt.
The first home game will be December 20th against Woodrow Wilson.
Then on January 5 the team will verse Capital at home. On January 27th the team
will go against George Washington at home.
The girls’ basketball team has started to prepare for their
season. With payers like Lexi Miller who led the girls in three pointers
last year returning, the team looks pretty good. And they have pretty high
goals for this season.
“My personal goal is to be the best player I can be, I’ll do
anything to help the team win, “Miller said.
The girls team also has great goals set for them as well.
“As a team we just need to win as much games as possible,” Miller
stated.
The girls have a pretty big competition when they play Morgantown.
The girls have also changed up a few things from last year.
“We are going to press this year, so I think that will work pretty
good, “Sophomore Jayden Simon said.
Their game plan to give full effort and to play hard hasn’t
changed from last year. They worked on some different things in practice and in
the offseason.
“Well we worked on passing and shooting better than we did last
year.” Sophomore Jaylen Hunt stated.
Their work will pay off
on their first home game on January 4th. So come out and support the girls’
basketball team!
