2025-26 MBB Season

[Greenteam]

The new gym, while not the event center we need, is serviceable. Will seem like an upgrade due to the newness. Main complaint is they squeezed in a few too many seats. Like riding coach on an old southwest plane you hope your seat mates can fit in their seat. Also they are very hard and not as comfortable as the seat backs in the nest. Will definitely bring a cushion next time. Has a few other quirks but will be a nice change. As for the team they had some difficulty with the lower level opponent, we lack size but finally wore them down. We did a better job getting Cherry the ball in the low post in the second half were he could use his size. Teat and Johnson look to be our other scoring threats? Not sure yet about Williams, and Gardner has a low motor. He made a few plays in the second half but he will need to produce against better competition. O’Neal looks like a deer in the headlights. Plays much smaller than his height. Easy to see why he has not been a starter on his last two teams. Would expect more from a fifth year senior. I think our lack of size will be a challenge. We have the athleticism to be a good defensive team, but we got beat off the dribble and were out of position leading to a lot of fouls. Look forward to see how we fare against D1 teams.
