Varsity boys basketball opens season in extraordinary fashion

by Justin Fish

Everybody is looking to start on a high note by winning their first game of the season to prove themselves worthy of a championship or a spot among the elite in the county and Pittsford did just that by beating the Colon Magi, 55-44.

The game took place in Colon so the hardship of winning on the road was even harder considering that the players did not have home-court advantage. That didn’t stop them from executing, though. “I think that we were quite strong in rebounding, and I thought we played solid defense. I also thought that we took care of the ball for the first game,” said Coach Burger. There are some areas that all teams need to improve on. “We definitely need to find that third scorer, and we still need to improve on ball-handling, even though we were good,” commented Mr. Burger. Junior Garet Lee scored an astonishing 28 points and hauled in 14 rebounds. Senior Corey Gamble had 14 points and 7 steals, and junior Seth Weber had 8 assists.
