The boys’ varsity basketball team started off the season in a positive way. The Huskies started the season 2-0 beating L’Anse Creuse (57-54) and Lakeview (47-44).

   The first game of the year the boys’ basketball team won 57-54. The Huskies were led offensively by sophomore Geryd Welsh with 27 and Lucas Oppliger added 12 points. The second game of the season the Huskies won 47-44. 

  “Our goal this year is to play one game at a time” Jack Trimble (’14) says. “We need to play the game we know how and not take our opponents lightly” says Trimble.

   The Huskies have run into a bit of bad luck lately. They have lost their last 5 games but the team looks to rebound. “We are capable of playing better” says Jacob Williams (’15). “If we play like we know how then we will win a lot more games” Williams says.

   “Right now the season has not been going as planned but alright” says Trimble. “Were not playing too bad, we just aren’t doing enough little things to finish and win games.” Lucas Oppliger (’14) says “The season is not going to well so far. We plan on turning it around” Oppliger says.

   The Huskies are staying positive and not worrying about the rest of the season. “If we do what we are supposed to do and play as a team I think the rest of the season will be great” says Williams.

   Jack Trimble and Lucas Oppliger are not worried about the rest of the season. “We have the talent to win the games and we will work the little things out in practice” Trimble says. “I think we’re going to turn the season around and finish strong going into districts” says Oppliger.

   The Huskies look to improve their season this month as they take on Anchor Bay, home against Fraser, at Port Huron High, and at Grosse Pointe South, all important games because all the teams are in their league.

   “There is nothing like a home game” says Trimble “The fans are great.”
