Senior Evan Keys has played basketball for all four years of high school. He serves as one of the captains this year.
What are your responsibilities as a captain?
I have to make sure the team is working hard during practice, and I’m responsible for keep the team in check. If you’re not practicing well, the coach will blame the captains for not pushing people.
How are you guys doing overall this season?
We had a rough start but it’s mainly because we have a new team. We’re making a lot more progress. We’re getting better and better. Over the holidays we had a tournament, which we did well in, so I think we’ll have a good finish.
What’s it like having sophomores on varsity?
It’s different, you have to teach them what to expect on varsity, and they’re really young so they make mistakes. But you let it slide because you know they’re sophomores. And it’s nice to know that once they become seniors they’ll be really good.
