Sitting in our hotel room in Dubuque this morning. We have a meeting in my room in about 20
minutes before we take off the rest of the way to Milwaukee. I love playing a tough schedule. It really gives you a good gauge of where you
are. Carthage will be one of the best
teams we play this year. They are long
and have a nice collection of guards also.
They are an impressive bunch.
This is a great challenge for our team.
When you don’t know a whole lot about another team, it is real important
to concentrate on the things that you do, and do them well. We have spent very little time on Carthage,
and spent a lot of time on us, and getting better. In the last 2 weeks, we have improved a lot,
and had some guys really start to play well consistently. We have good leadership, and we have guys
that love to compete. It will be a fun
night for us. The first game is always
special.
4 more newcomers
Nick Clark – G – St. Edmond (Fort Dodge)
Nick will get playing time for us on the varsity. He is a great competitor. He does a nice job guarding the ball up and
down the floor as a point guard. He is a
winner. He has played well in the
scrimmages and isn’t scared. I love that
about him. He was the 2A player of the
year last year, and his team got 2nd in State. He knows what it takes to win, and was well coached
in high school also. I am sure that as
he improves, he will become an outstanding leader, because he is a good example
for all.
Ryan Green – F – Dowling Catholic
Ryan is an excellent communicator and roots on his
teammates very well. He is an excellent
teammate. He has really improved in just
a couple of weeks. He is not scared of
the older guys and has a really nice pull up game. He competes on the glass, and is someone that
can be an excellent leader down the road.
We are glad he is here.
Kyler Huisman – G – Central Lyon
Kyler is an excellent shooter. He made a lot of 3’s last year at Central
Lyon, and has continued that here. As he
continues to get stronger, he will be better and better. He needs to get better at the other parts of
his game, but if you can shoot, it is always a great start.
Aaron Lyons – G – Rippey
Aaron is a great personality on the team. He is one of those guys that gets along with
everyone. His game has improved
also. He is a good shooter, and has
improved his defense each week. His
leadership will be needed on the JV team this year.
Just a note, that last time I talked about Alex Satchell
from Colorado. I wrote Alex Savage’s
name however, so my fault. Alex Satchell
is center from Colorado.
GO Beavers!!!
