JV Boys Basketball

Our JV Boys Basketball Team hosted their first conference game on Friday, Dec. 1st against the Eagles of Grace of Christian.  Our Warriors had worked hard all week on offensive execution and defensive rotations.  The Warriors were focused and ready to face a tough eagles team.  The Warriors knew coming into the contest that the Eagles always have very good athletes but if they executed it would be a good contest.  The Warriors moved the ball well and gave themselves plenty of scoring opportunities.  "We got a lot of good looks at the basketball but could not seem to get the ball in the hoop. There seemed to be a lid on the rim tonight" -Coach Sewell Although the Warriors were having trouble scoring their defense was pretty consistent.  "I am proud of the way our guys competed tonight." - Coach Sewell

I saw some positive things today from our guys." - Coach Sewell

Our JV Boys Basketball Team hosted Cardinal Gibbons on Friday, November 17th.  The Warriors new they were facing a huge task but were ready to take the court.  The Warriors struggled from the opening tip.  The Warriors had difficulties executing their offense at time which caused problems for them in the long run.  The Warriors were able to put a few stops together which allowed them to score 4 straight points, but the depth and pace from the Chargers proved to be too much.  "We have to do a better job of executing on offense.  We let the defense rattle us a bit so we have to get better." - Coach Sewell
