12/1/2017 1 Comment Boys Basketball Preview By: Avery Degerstrom
With winter sports kicking off this past week the boys’ basketball program is preparing for their December debut. On December 2nd they are hosting their jamboree. They started practice on the 20th and have been working hard in the gym ever since. Including 2 days over Thanksgiving break to work off all the turkey. There are 9 returning varsity players for the boys this year. They will have lots of experience and depth going into the season. The boys that played together last year have chemistry and know how to work together. The team is returning from a successful season last year where they ended their season 23-5. When asked about his team’s strengths, Coach Kreft said, “they know what it takes to win.” A big strength the boys have this year is their versatility. This will create a very deep bench for the Jaguars, because lots of players are able to contribute to the team in many ways. The boys and coaches have goals set for themselves as a team. They want to defend their title as Great River Conference champions. As far as winning goes they hope to go even deeper into the playoffs than last year. Coach Kreft, said, “I want to have a lot of fun this season and I assume we will with the great group of boys we have.” The coaches and players also strive to become more unified, better basketball players, and teammates each and every day. Coach Kreft has a very positive outlook for his team this season. “We should be able to play some great defense and play a fast, up-tempo style,” said Coach Kreft. Having a fast paced game is fun for the players and for the fans to watch. Coaches Kreft, Visser and Erikson as well as the boys would love for the stands to be packed at their games. The program has been working hard to be this successful. They hope to be a team the community and school can be proud of. It should be a very fun and successful season!
