The varsity basketball team opens its season against Allegan on December 6.
The team is working on improving their skills and working as a team for the season. They moved up one sophomore Elijah Walker and the rest were returning seniors or juniors.
“(We) are a physical team,” Head Coach Steve Sikma said, “(we) have multiple players at multiple positions that know how to play providing great depth.”
Last year the Hawkeyes went 3-18. This year, Coach Sikma is excited for a brighter season.
“If the players learn to believe in themselves as much as I believe in them they will have a tremendous season,” he said.
The three seniors led the team to a great start of the year during practice, only time will tell as to who turns out to be the leaders of the team.
