As Winter rolls around, the girls and boys basketball teams are starting to play their first few games of the season. Losing a few aspect players from each team due to seniors graduating, the teams are having to adjust to their new line-ups for the year, figuring out which will make the teams the most successful.

Returning players for the varsity girls team are seniors Madi Howard, Faith Whitt and Mackenzie Williams. Also, sophomore Emily Breslin is returning for her second year on varsity.

Having a young team and being a senior, captain Faith Whitt thinks that the team needs to bond more due to the abundance of underclassmen players on the team.

“Our record is 1-1,” Whitt said. “Once we get to know each other better, I think we will play better, but right now, we are a young team. Half of the team is underclassmen, so we just need to get to know each other.”

For the boys varsity team, the returning seniors are center Kyle Lilley, shooting guard Miguel Medina and guard/forward Hunter Winnie. Also, point guard and sophomore Chris Hall is returning for his second year on varsity. “We have played Bath, South Lyon East and Eaton Rapids,” senior captain Kyle Lilley said. “I’m our only captain this year and I broke my hand in the South Lyon East game. I’m hoping to come back a little after Christmas Break, after I get my cast off.”

The boys’ record for the year so far is 1-2.
