As a whole, the team looks like a well-oiled machine out on the court with their consistently good play. 

“As far as district standings go, we are sitting in a good place as the second round begins,” Assistant Coach Cody Wynn said. “This late in the season there really aren’t any major fixes that happen and the team has really locked into what we are trying to accomplish.” 

Head Coach Tobin Reid reciprocated these feelings of accomplishment, wanting to focus on teams they have already played in addition to the wellbeing of his players. He has insisted that his main focus going into round two is keeping everyone healthy and injury-free. 

“Going into the second round, I’m taking it just like I did the first, one game at a time with confidence,” Coach Reid said.

In every high school sport, injuries are a huge thing. Coach Reid wants to make sure every player stays healthy.

“Going into the second round, my mindset is to play positive always, and to play stronger as a team,” senior Colby Christian said. “My biggest worries going forward are staying healthy and making sure we don’t lose easily won games.”
