WSC Varsity Basketball

This year’s varsity boys basketball team has gotten off to a strong seven and ten start with a roster that features seven returning players and ten seniors. The team typically plays twice a week and practices during the other three days, and sometimes on Saturdays. Practices last for roughly an hour and a half, here the players walk through a new play or scheme, followed by stretching, warmups, and some sort of game simulation.

Returning to the varsity team for the third time, Nathan Paik (‘19), a team captain, looks forward to league play in the upcoming games “those are the games that count the most”. In CIF, what determines if a team makes playoffs is their league record, not their overall record. Having recently dropped down a league due to the tough competition of past seasons, this year’s team seeks to continue their strong start through league play.
