This season, the 5th grade basketball team’s journey was filled with both challenges and triumphs. The A team concluded their season with a 9-5 record and the B team finished at 3-5-1. The season was marked by several noteworthy victories, with standout wins against Lincoln Trail, Huntingburg, and two wins against Cedar Crest. What truly defined this team, however, wasn't just the numbers on the scoreboard but their understanding of collective effort. Statistical leaders fluctuated game by game, highlighting the team's commitment to playing as a cohesive unit rather than relying on individual performances. Reflecting on the season, the coaches emphasized the growth and maturation of the players. Many started the season with minimal experience in organized basketball but ended it with a profound understanding of teamwork and strategy. Sportsmanship was another key aspect of the team. Regardless of the outcome, the players consistently exhibited respect for their opponents, embodying the values instilled by their coaches. Amidst the serious moments, there were also humorous instances that added color to the season. One unforgettable memory involved a player showing up to a game wearing crocs after forgetting his basketball shoes at home. He wanted to play no matter what, even if that meant playing in his crocs. However, another player graciously lent him a pair, this leading to the player having a stellar game, “in someone else’s shoes.” As the season drew to a close, the 5th grade boys basketball team emerged not only as better players but also as better individuals, embodying the spirit of teamwork, sportsmanship, and perseverance. With a solid foundation laid, they look forward to building upon their experiences and achievements next year as they enter middle school.
Coach Derek LaMar voiced, “The team grew up quite a bit this year. Coming in, we had several kids that hadn't played organized ball before. Working together, they were able to achieve success. They learned a lot about the game of basketball and how it requires all 5 guys to compete on the floor. We're looking forward to building on the foundation from this year.”
