The JV boys’ basketball team is preparing for a new season after finishing their previous season with an Almont League record of 2-8. With a new coach and new strategies to implement, the Moors are anticipating an exciting year with a favorable outcome.
“The new coaching staff is making major improvements to this program. I think we are going to perform well this season,” Captain Fabio Corrales said.
The team is placing a heavy emphasis on defensive pressure, aiming to wear down opposing teams by stopping their offense and controlling the tempo of the game. They are hoping that efficient defensive strategies will lead to easy points off of turnovers.
The team has also been practicing hard in order for the players to improve both physically and mentally. They are emphasizing preparedness and the need to practice with intensity in order to execute their game plans efficiently.
“Being mentally prepared is crucial because it ultimately affects the way the team plays,” Corrales said.
Ultimately, the boys are optimistic about their season and are hoping to utilize the knowledge and skills acquired from their practices.
