The first game of the season is tonight, December 1st against St. Paul. We will be meeting them in the first round of the Alpha Natural Resources Tournament held at John Battle High in Bristol, game time is 7:00 pm.
After a couple of weeks of hard practice and one scrimmage under our belt, we are finally ready to take the court for our first game. I expect some early game jitters from some of the younger players but hopefully everyone will settle down, once we get into a rhythm.
St. Paul shoots the ball well and they have a couple of players who are playmakers, the move the ball well on offense and according to some they should be atop the Cumberland District this season. I could easily see them contending for their district title and expect a tough opponent when we take the floor tonight.
Several players will be making their first appearance in a varsity game tonight and it will be interesting to see how they adjust to the speed and flow of a varsity game. The kids have been working hard and we are slowly coming around, if our defense is solid and we are patient enough on offense this could be a tight game down the stretch.
Game time is at 7:00 pm @ John Battle High School
