Senior Jonathan Mikovits explains what the team did well on: “I think the team did well on defense. It is the staple of our team and what we try to excel at game after game.” Mikovits adds that he thinks that he did well “…playing our defense, not turning the ball over, and taking an open shot.”Although both JV and Varsity won, there is always room for improvement. “The team needs to improve on taking care of the ball and limiting our turnovers,” Mikovits adds.

Sophomore Carter Arbuckle plays on both JV and Varsity. On both teams there is a mixture of grades, adding depth to the team. This also adds a wide variety of skills from every player. Arbuckle explains that the way they beat Springport was “we ran our plays and helped on defense.” He adds that although the team did well, “[they] need to work on moving the ball around more.”
