The boys basketball team is determined to win, no matter who is playing and what their schedule looks like. An example of this is according to the boys basketball web page, they have two program goals:
“1. To develop boys into successful young men by demanding that their actions and attitudes reflect the concepts of our program.
2. To develop sound basketball players by the daily commitment to discipline and our defensive fundamentals.” Not only do they have program goes but they have 3 statements on their mission as a basketball team and as a program in general. Mission: 1. To teach the fundamentals of our defense and offense. 2. To accept our role in the program and be willing to make our program the best. 3. To make sure that we are prepared. If the players and staff follow all these goals and missions correctly, the Warhawks should be set for another successful season. |
