As the Fall sports come to an end, CCES students are getting prepared for the upcoming basketball season. Last year, our basketball team soared on to become the region champs in our division before taking an unfortunate loss in the second round of the playoffs. However, as Kareem Abdul-Jabar said, “You can’t win unless you learn how to lose.” The team has learned from the playoff loss and is using that to fuel them, as they strive to become the state champions. To achieve this goal, the basketball team has been holding practice since the summer, as well as playing in tournaments, hoping to get a feel of how this season might turn out. I asked some of the returning varsity players including 5-star John Butler, All region players Sam Perry and Charles Sagedey, and starting point guard Bennet Rodgers, how they feel about this upcoming season and what do they think they will accomplish this year.
