The 2011-2012 basketball season is underway! It started yesterday at Whitebead with the 7th and 8th grade boys and girls participating in the Whitebead Tournament. Both teams played Pioneer and unfortunately started off the season with two losses. We caught up with Coach Spigner and Coach Yeiser about the upcoming junior high season.
The junior high girls are made up of mostly 8th grade girls and Coach Spigner feels like the girls have a lot of athletic ability and if they can put that ability with hard work, togetherness and playing the game, the future is bright for them. "Some times we just need to play the game. We get used to running plays, but to me, the game at this level is about the fundamentals. Dribbling, passing and shooting. Things we need to get better at and things we will get better at as the year progresses."
Coach Yeiser expects success and sees it in his team as well. He says they work and listen. The group he has are an athletic group and are fairly deep. "We've only had three good practices so far. Once we have had some time to go over our offense and defense and our press and press breakers, we will be just fine."
The Junior High Lady Foxes and Foxes next game in the Whitebead Tournament will be this Thursday starting at 3PM and 4PM.
