The Varsity Boys Basketball team tipped off its season with a great road win over Coastal Home School, 57-35, on Monday night. The Knights were led by Xavier Preston, who had 25 points and 14 rebounds. Josh Gray had 10 points, and Grant Prokop and Isaiah Preston each had seven points. The defense was the real story of the game. Only playing with seven players, the Knights were active with the press and the fast-moving zone. With 16 steals and 20 deflections, the defense was a real problem for Coastal.
It's great to be back on the court with these guys who have been really working hard in practice. They were tired of listening to me and were anxious to see another team. I was really impressed with our hustle and effort throughout the game.
The Knights have a big week ahead. We play four games this week: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday home games, then a Saturday game in Jacksonville. The Knights will also be getting back our football players this week, and it should be fun to try and get everyone up to speed. It will take some time to get these guys playing fast and well together but what a great opportunity we have.
Go Knights!
Coach Wilson
