With a new season starting, a new coach, and a new team; we wanted to know if all the ‘new’ posed a threat for our team. When talking with Mr. George, we saw that maybe there’s nothing to really worry about after all. This season is going to be something different. As Mr. George goes through the process of learning about our boys’ skills and how they work together, the team will improve and become more dynamic with each other. Many people thought that having a new coach that was also a new teacher may not have been the best idea, because if he’s just settling in it would make things harder and not very easy for someone to focus on the sport that their coaching; but it has in fact done quite the opposite. Being a teacher has made things a lot easier for Mr. George especially communication wise. Being in school with the students and being able to see them to meet with them makes the strains of not being able to communicate lessen. The students also can come to him during free periods and lunches for any one-on-one talk they would need. He would like his players to put their team first, they’ve made a commitment. They need to play to the best of their ability, because that’s the only way they are going to be able to make the best of this season. As far as any new rivals would go Elco, Lebanon Catholic, and Annville are the biggest ones we are thought to have; just like they have been in previous years.
