Team Play Helps South Valley Reach Success


This is the fourth of a four part series about our Junior High programs at Liberty. They teams combine for a 70-4 overall record. Great Job!



The SVJH 9th boys team has gotten off to a great start thus far. The highlight win of the year to this point probably came last Tuesday night with a one point win over Ray-Pec. SVJH trailed by one with about 30 seconds to go, but hit a shot with 8 seconds left to take the lead for good. I’d have to say there have been three key strengths for our team so far on the season. First and foremost all of our guys give a great effort every day in practice and it reflects in the games. They play hard at all times and that always gives them a chance to succeed. Another quality about these guys is their willingness to share the basketball. They’ve been a very unselfish bunch of guys who always make the extra pass to get a better look at the basket. The last quality that seems to stick out to me is their ability to play at a fast pace, but yet they still make good decisions. It’s a fine line between playing fast, smart basketball and playing out of control.
