Boys’ Basketball Team Begins Season
by Tazlynn Sporleder
The Pierce High boys’ basketball team and coach Mike Emory started their season with practice on Monday, November 12.
There are 20 players on this year’s team on all levels, including five returning letter winners. They are Gavin Larson, Dalton Freeman, Carter Rohrich, Carson Oestreich, and Jadon Magdanz, the lone senior on the team.
The team has been preparing for their season long before Monday, as they attended three team camps in the offseason. Looking ahead to the start of competition, coach Mike Emory said, “With 14 practices until the first game, we are hoping to get better and compete for a trip down to state.” Their goals for the season are to work hard in practice and strive to get better.
The Bluejays’ first game is home against Howells-Dodge on Thursday, November 29.
