The boys had an
overall rough season
but were able to pull
through with one win
against Dwight.
“It almost felt surre-
al. What I mean by that is
we had lost so much that it
was kind of like ‘Wait what
we won? We won!’”, Coach
Lozano said.
Although the season was
starting to come to an end and
it hadn’t been a very successful
one for the varsity boys, they
were able to keep their motivation
through their love for the sport.
Throughout the season, the
4 team was missing Tor Utoksiri, a
senior who was unable to play due to
KAIAC’s age limit rules. However, this
game being a friendly, they were able
to put him into the game. Individually,
each of the boys on the team were very
skilled and had the confidence, and will-
ingness to play. However, since the Dwight
game was friendly, Tor was permitted to
play. Nonetheless, the boys were all indi-
vidually skilled players. But “think of it like
this, on a car, you could have really good parts
on your car, but if you’re missing one of the
wheels, you’ve got a great engine, a great seat,
a
great steering wheel, three amazing wheels,
6
and you could have all that, but if you’re missing
one wheel, it’s going to be really difficult”, Coach
Lozano explained.
“Winning the Dwight game was really exciting
for me. It was our first win in 22 games and I was
able to score 14 points. It was a good game for all
of us and I’m proud of how the whole team played
throughout the game” said Zachariah Ward, Junior.
When Tor was able to play in the game, “Zach
played better, Alex played better, Daniel played better.
They already were good players, they just didn’t have
that one wheel with them in most of the games. And
when that final wheel was in place, all the other pieces
that we knew were good, were working like they were sup-
posed to. You need all four of them to work well, we were
just missing one of them for most of the season”.
The boys were “happy” that they were able to win a
10 game although it was a hard season for them. The final score
of the game was 65-51.
