As basketball games are starting at all levels all over the country. Players need to remember: 1. Layups, Free Throws and Scoring in the Post, keeps you in every game. 2. Midrange Jumpers Win you games. 3. To many 3’s, To many deep 3’s and to many step back 3’s, Lose you games…

It’s always easy to post things after winning games. After losing last night 101-96 4 OT thriller to a very good @lemars_hoops team I think it can be said in a year with Covid and everything else that’s what high school sports is all about. A great game by 2 teams Congrats to all
