In his first full season as head coach, Josh Mayson looks to build upon the momentum gained last year after making the playoffs for the first time in years.

“I want to go back to the playoffs again and keep that streak going and we definitely have the guys to do it,” Mayson said.

The team is young, gaining nine freshmen with 23 players overall, allowing Mayson to comfortably fill a varsity and junior varsity team.

“We have a lot of young guys who haven’t experienced basketball at this level yet,” he said. “There are some that are going to have to play some varsity minutes, but I am confident that they are good enough to play against the other players in the league.”

Mayson says he wants to focus on playing “more as a team, more team ball, and being more direct with the players.”

As a very young coach, he embraces the challenge to the change the team dynamic but maintain the obvious connection he enjoys with the players.

The boys played a close game against Concrete on Dec. 3, losing 56-47.
