Boys Varsity Basketball Team 2013-14

This past week Boys Varsity basketball finally started. This year there will be no boys JV basketball team due to lack of people playing. Since basketball at the varsity level isn't for everyone and their skill set, Coach Warren decided to have tryouts for a week where he watched your playing ability, your coach-ability, your attitude, and your dedication. After tryouts the current Boys Varsity basketball team roster is: Mike Warren, Gage Berg, Brendan Hamilton, Isaac Burns, Michael Shyne, Chris Byers, Zeri Zelenka, Will Dukes, and Alec Cammenga.

This year, depending on how hard the boys work will determine how many wins and losses they have. They have great capabilities and lots of talent. They will have to work extra hard to make up for the seniors that graduated (Drew Maine, Mark Carlson, and Josh Hatfield). Boys Varsity Basketball is all about your dedication, once you start basketball season you have to give all you got towards basketball, and every time you step onto the court for practice you have to give it all your focus. Aside from all the hard work the boys do, they are also planning fun group activities and get-togethers in helping to unite the team.

When in basketball season, not only do you have to worry about basketball itself, but there are lots of things that come along with it. Such as academics, the boys have to always work hard at their grades to make sure they are eligible for upcoming games. All in all the Boys Varsity Basketball Program is lots of fun and those who aren't playing should give it a try. It is a lot of hard work but it pays off and is well worth it. I want to thank coach Warren for all the dedication and time he puts in to coach all the guys, and work to get them to be the best possible players they can be.
