Pass. Dribble. Slam dunk. Score – another point for the boy’s basketball team. As they begin their season, however, things have not been working out as planned. The team is practicing every week night (those that they don’t have games, at least) from six to eight, hoping to increase the amount of games they win, and improve their record. So far, their record is a depressing 0-7. However, they are expecting to pick up the heat during the next few games. Sadly, the team’s morale is down lately due to their not-so-attractive record. However, every night that their devoted fans show up, cheering them on no matter what, these boys get a little more pep in their step. The team always starts out with a good outlook on the game, hoping for a win every time. They can’t say exactly what it is, but something keeps on getting them down. They’re certainly praying for a win next game, and hoping that with enough hard work on top of their tedious practice schedule, they’ll be able to pull through. All of the starters have certainly been stepping up to give the game some heat. Seniors Shane Quinn and Luke Mesing have been trying their hardest to make their last year on the team a good one. Just like the upperclassmen, some freshmen are starting to step up as well. Freshman Nick Schwab has been getting some varsity time, giving the game some real heat, showing his passion for the sport, and getting noticed because of it. Franzee Barlamas and Brandon Prest, both juniors, are two of the team’s top players. We’re all hoping that these two, along with the rest of the boys on the team, can all work together and pull through with a win for the Bulldogs.
