raining and eating healthy also plays a big part in the season.

Xavier Rainwater is a senior captain and he stated.

One thing called Toughness is basically a book that we have to read, And I’ll say this is helpful because basketball is very important and physical, but our coach makes sure we get the mental part down.So The biggest thing for our coaches is the mental state of their players. Another question we asked was “ What are your goals for this season”? All players mentioned that they wanted to make it to state and to show that they have grown as a team and individually. We also asked the Coach Gram, the head coach “What team are you most excited to play”?  He said “Princeton, because it’s the first game on November 8th.” He also stated that any upcoming game is important no matter what school it is.
