The school has two teams, A-9th grade and B-7th and 8th grade. However, we didn't have enough 9th graders try out so essentially we have the same boys playing on both teams, with the exception of about 2 players. There are games scheduled on Wed and Fri and each team plays on those days. What that amounts to is that both of my boys are playing 4 games a week. Neither one of them has played much before (except for a stint or two in Jr. Jazz), so this is quite a new thing for them. It has been really good for them! They are doing well and improving with each game.
Ford is often the point guard. He has a pretty good outside shot, sank a 3 pointer tonight.
Montana is a defense specialist. He has quick hands and can read where the ball is going and gets steals quite often. He is good at assisting others by passing off when he could take a shot. He also made a 3 pointer tonight, much to his surprise and that of everyone else.
The teams are struggling to win, I think because they are young teams made up of boys who have never really played before. But they have heart and they work hard for every point they get. I'm sure as the season progresses they will continue to improve and hopefully, some of these same kids will be here next year so the improvement can continue.
GO AHS EAGLES!
That is so awesome that they are having such a great time and that AHS has a team for them.
