The JV boys started off the season with a win against Battle Mountain, 43-24. The boys then went on to win the Lovelock tournament, where they were undefeated.
For being a young team, they did really well, finishing the season with a 16-2 record.
“We played good man-to-man defense, we pressured the ball and helped well, which allowed us to get easy points in transition. We played with a lot of energy and enthusiasm,” said Beatty. “I thought they did a great job of coming together as a team pretty fast. They were all good teammates, and they really enjoyed seeing each other find success.”
The team came together this season.
“They all worked hard, but I think Anthony Hemp or Daniel Fernandez probably worked the hardest,” said Beatty. “Hemp just has a relentless motor on the court, and Daniel holds himself to a high standard each time he plays. But they all played and worked extremely hard.”
The season offered new players the opportunity to grow.
“I had a great season on my team this year,” said Zach Fernandez. “Being super young on this team was hard at first, but everyone showed me what to do, and they were really helpful.”
The Bucks came out this season determined to win some games,” said Anthony Hemp. “We came out and played our hearts out. Everything we did, we did as a team. The best thing we did was playing as a team.”
The freshmen on the team were a little bit timid but worked hard.
“I was pretty nervous coming onto a new team, and all I wanted to do was work hard and show them what I could do,” said Giovani Sapien. “I try to work as a team player and give my teammates a shot at scoring.”
