Rocket Boys Basketball

By Student Reporter Matthew Clark

The boys basketball team started their season on Monday, November 16, with high hopes of making a great run like they did last year. Although some of the key players to last year’s success have graduated, they still have a great team. The first practice was mostly fundamental things to get everyone back on track with basketball, as many of the players on the team are in fall sports.

With some of the starters gone from last year, people will have to step up and assume roles that they may not be familiar with. The coach, Jim Meinen, is trying to get players to practice numerous positions so they can jump into them at any given time during a game. Although players may have some new positions, no one has complained or had any problems with the changes. With a scrimmage against St. Mary Springs and Port Washington next Tuesday, we will get a good look at what this season will bring.

Everyone is excited to see if the boys can make another playoff appearance this year. With the dedication and hard work the players put in, it is very possible to see the boys having another great season.
