This past week, both the junior varsity and the varsity boys basketball teams competed in a team camp hosted at Foundation Academy that consisted of some of the best programs in the state of Florida. Our boys varsity basketball team went 7-2 and beat South Lake High School 49-46 to win the team camp championship.
Newly announced head coach, Sharrod Williams stated “After our first tournament setting together, I have come to realize that our team is a special group capable of greatness. As a coaching staff, we stress the importance of being a person of high character on and off the court and I believe the players have started to buy into that the last day of camp when we defeated two really good programs back to back. I am proud to be their coach.”
Riley Michels. a rising senior averaged 20 points per game throughout the tournament. Nate Walden was a leader in terms of toughness and averaged 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals per game. Josh Mercado scored numerous tough baskets when needed and averaged 12 points per game. Gavin Badua controlled the pace both offensively and defensively averaging 5 assists and guarding every position. Lastly, Bradley Reuter really proved to be one of the best shooters on the team as he made a handful of tough threes to help win the championship.
Go Lions!
