  The 2014-15 boys’ varsity basketball team will be competing in the MAC Blue Conference. The Huskies started the season off with a home game against Sarnia St. Patrick, losing 56-35.

   “Our goal this year is to play one game at a time” Brett Manis (’16) says. “We need to play the game we know how and not take our opponents lightly” says Manis.

  The Huskies then had the Ed Peltz Holiday Tournament where they took on the Port Huron High Big Reds in the first game of the tournament. “It was a great game,” says Brandon Doan (‘16) “It was a close one throughout and unfortunately we didn't come out on top.” The Huskies lost a thriller 59-57.

  The Huskies returned to action the next day as they got their first win of the season against Croswell, 59-46. The huskies would then lose their next three games.

    “We are capable of playing better” says team captain Tanton Elliott (’15). “If we play like we know how then we will win a lot more games” Elliott says.

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

  Elliott and  Manis 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” Elliott says. “I think we’re going to turn the season around and finish strong going into districts” says Manis.

  The Huskies need your help this season as well! They want everyone to show up and cheer them on throughout the season. “We need a student section,” Mains says, “We want an awesome atmosphere when we play!”
