Starting New Season with Hardwork

The boys basketball team finished their season with their last game against Quaker Valley on Feb. 8, which was also their senior night. “We had a lot of support senior night for how our season turned out to be,” Senior Bubba Heckman said. “This season was a lot of fun.” Although not getting quite as far as they’d like to, the team is proud of how far they’ve come. “Even though we didn’t win that many games, we definitely improved as the season went on,” Junior Matt Feits said. In order to be successful during the season, the basketball team dedicated a significant amount of their time to getting better, both individually and as a whole. “We worked really hard and practiced six days a week, all season long,” Feits said. Though many interesting things happened throughout the entire season, one game that stands out to Senior Bubba Heckman was the Ellwood City game. “It was the first game I was a part of that we won,” Heckman said. On and off the court, the team is always there for each other. According to Feits, everyone on the team really gets along together. “This is the best thing about being a part of the team,” Feits said. Senior Mikey Ross feels that he has improved as a player as well this season. “I try my hardest in every practice,” Ross said. Though there are seven seniors leaving this year, the team looks forward to the future. “I think they have potential, but they just have to work harder at it than we did this year,” Heckman said.
