2015-16 Winter Sports | 5 By Coach Omar Rendon I believe overall the season was a great season. As most of these guys are very young and learned a lot this year. Our style of game made a difference on why we went undefeated almost the whole season. We had great touch on the ball and worked as a team. We congratulated each other in every part of the field and always worked on what needed to be improved. After losing our first game against Lake Placid I believe it was something we never recovered from mentally. The guys took a big toll from that game. They started arguing on our final games amongst each other which broke our momentum. We never recovered which caused us to lose our final matches. I believe that this experience will make the younger guys realize how fast a season can end when there is no team work. Every season is a learning experience and it is supposed to make it better for next season.When you’re a senior and it ends all you can do is think about what you should have done. Regardless of it all, I’m proud of my team and hope to be back on the field training again next season.

2015-16 Winter Sports | 9 By Coach Richard Koonce This season was filled with many ups and downs throughout the entirety of its course. The team started off up and down in the win column as well. However they stayed together through it all. The team was led by Prince Powell a senior point guard who is as steady as they come. The other two seniors were Caleb Blackwood who had a couple of special games shooting the 3, and Quay Fudge who amazed the crowd a couple of times this year with his athleticism and dunks. There were a bunch of young guys and old first time varsity guys who made up the rest of this unit. I am proud of these guys they will be very successful in life doing whatever it is they choose.
