COACH’S CORNER
Q: Let’s talk a little bit about last season. What were you proud of? What did you wish went better?
Ivie: “Earning a spot to compete at the state tournament for the second year in a row was a huge accomplishment for our program. We had a team full of athletes that worked incredibly hard on both ends of the floor. We started last season with zero returning varsity starters, and very few players with previous varsity experience just in general. By the end of the season, we had leaders emerge and an entire team of “team first” guys.”
Q: What are your initial thoughts about this upcoming season?
Ivie: “We feel extremely confident in the depth this year’s team brings to the table. In addition to Kolby, Jachob and Dylan, we have several varsity returners that will play a big role for us this year: Senior Trevor Brangham, Juniors, Cole Murray, Jax Peterson, Austin Fox, and Davis Wrage. Plus, we have two spunky sophomores Kason Ivie and Caleb Lake that will also contribute in big way for us this year. We are excited and grateful for the opportunity to be back in the gym and competing on the court.”
Q: How do you compare against the competition in your conference?
Ivie: “We believe we should be able to compete with all teams in our conference.”
