At a record of 5-18, the boys basketball team has ended their 2018 season. The team is led by head Coach Bill Humes, assistant Coach Michael Llauget and captain Ian McLaughlin. The boys went into the season confident, but have not lived up to their goals.
“Our record does not represent how hard we work,” sophomore Aaron Gonzalez said. The boys have been playing since November, working to improve their game. Unfortunately this has not shown in their record.
Senior Heath Kalb led the Knights with 85 total field goals while junior guard Scott Barlow led the team in three pointers, making 33 total this season.
With only four seniors graduating this year, the young players provide a strong foundation for next year. They have one year under their belt together and will come back and redeem themselves after a disappointing year.
