The JV boys’ basketball team put together a season to remember, posting a record of 14-2 with signature wins over Springbrook and a scrappy Paint Branch squad. The team’s success has been in part due to their incredible balance on the offensive end of the floor.

“We have had seven different players lead us in scoring in a game this season,” explained fourth-year coach Brian McCarty. “We are effective because all our players are unselfish, move the ball to the open man to find the best shot for our team. To us, it doesn’t matter which player puts the ball in the hoop. Every player is just as happy for the next guy when we score, and are just as excited as if they had made the bucket themselves.”

This incredibly unselfish style of play was a major factor in each of the team’s 14 wins.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Warriors held teams to a dismal 44.73 points per game. The team uses its speed, quickness and athleticism to get up and down the floor and apply pressure on and off the ball, causing turnovers which turn into easy transition buckets.

It is clear from the statistics and the attitude of the team that the JV boys basketball team is sticking to their motto, “one team, one goal.”
