Varsity boys basketball team beats LCS, goes to 3-0

by Justin Fish

The Wildcats showed what they were made of and beat the Lenawee Christian Cougars last night by a score of 73-62 to put their record up to an excellent 3-0 to start the season.

Junior Garet Lee led the way with 20 pts, 3 assists 2 steals and a block. There were many contributors this game to propel them to victory. Senior Clark Pelham contributed 14pts, while fellow senior Corey Gamble added 12 pts and sophomore Brandon Williams chipped in 10 pts. “I think the thing we did different in this game was the free throw shooting. I don’t think we would have won if we didn’t make all of those free throws. Before we were not making as much free throws until we practiced them,” said senior Reggie Waldfogel, who ripped down seven rebounds on the game. “We played with a tremendous level of intensity, defensively we had good rotations, our help [defense] was quick and often, and I think the big difference in the game was our ability to handle their pressure,” said Coach Burger. Early in the season there are still needs for improvement, though. “I think we still have room for improvement in terms of not turning the ball over, shot selection, and I think that we could be much much better defensively yet, so we’ve got a long way to go,” said Coach Burger.
