Basketball Season 2012-13

With soccer season and volleyball season just finishing, winter basketball is afoot. It is that time of year again and many people are very excited for this year’s season because it’s going to be as good, if not better, than last year’s exciting and eventful year.

One of the new things that we have this year is a new junior varsity girl’s basketball team. They, along with the varsity girl’s basketball team are going to be coached by Brad Richards. He will be assisted by Coach Hamilton. The JV team is looking like they are going to be a big threat to the competition this year.

The varsity girl’s basketball team is going to be a fantastic team this year. Last year, they won the school’s first ever district title. They went on to become regional finalists last year. This year we are going to have a strong senior line-up including: Hayley Mohr, Natalie Kapanka, Shymari Harris, and Megan Beals.

Both girls’ teams have already started conditioning practices to get ready for the season. All the triples they have to do in the next few weeks are going to pay off for a great season.

The middle school teams have already started their season and even have had a few games. The boy’s middle school team is being coached by Mr. Payton. Their first game is on Tuesday, November sixth. The girl’s middle school team is doing well also.

The boy’s junior varsity and varsity basketball teams are being coached by many coaches, both new and returning. Back again to coach another great year in varsity basketball is Coach Jim Warren. Also returning is Mr. Carlson to lead the JV team to a successful season. New on the coaching line-up this year is our history teacher, Mr. Brent Marshall, and Mrs. Saum’s son, Zac Saum. The senior line-up for this year is as strong as the varsity girl’s line-up. Mark Carlson, Drew Maine, Josh Hatfield, Aaron Ebeling, and junior Mike Warren all pose as great threats for the other teams. Their official first practice begins on Monday, November twelfth.

Many people wait all year for basketball season. It is a great sport to watch and always is filled with a lot of excitement. Although I no longer play basketball, I like to watch it and am very excited to see the turn out this season. I hope it is an enjoyable season for all and that it turns out to be another winning season.
