The Start of Something New

As the months get colder and the days shorter, fall sports end and winter ones begin. The basketball season at Calvin Christian High School (CCHS) is right around the corner, and both the girls’ and the boys’ teams couldn't be more excited.

The official start for the girls’ season is November 15, while the boys start on November 21. When asked about what they were looking forward to the most this season, the boys team captain, Bradley Mateer (senior), answered, “I’m looking forward to bonding with the team and playing for God”. The decrease of players this year on the boys’ team did not seem to put a stop to the excitement regarding the upcoming season. Mateer’s main goal this year is to be “better than last year.”

Leah Martin, CCHS junior,  is excited for the new season as well. With a new coach, Martin is hopeful that they might be able to beat last year’s record. So far, about 10 girls are interested in joining, but the team would love to have an increase of players. Martin was quick to respond when she was asked about what she was looking forward to the most, “I’m looking forward to just the whole season in general, I love basketball and I’m excited to play this year!”
