With their heads held high and hope in their hearts, the boys basketball team starts their season. With the new coach Michael Strasko, the team hopes to do much better this year. So far, the team seems to like Strasko as the new coach.


Junior Andrew Blomme, who has played for seven years, said he “wants the team to get eight to ten wins this year” and thinks they can do it since they have gotten around seven new players, mostly freshmen, and “are being pushed to work much harder by Strasko” with morning and afternoon practices, as well as open gym and a camp this summer.


Blomme’s passion for the game comes down to “the team working together and knowing what his teammates are going to do and where they’re going to be on court." Blomme thinks that some of the freshmen will have a huge impact on the team.


Freshman David Graeve, who has played for five years, said that he just plays to be with friends and have fun, but does think that Strasko was a good change for the team.


Blomme’s goal is to make a dunk this year while Graeve on the other hand just wants to make it through the season.
