COACH KNAPP

BY OLIVIA FRIES

Q. HOW WOULD YOU SAY THE BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL SEASON IS GOING SO FAR?

“Right now, there is a problem with injuries and sickness. Guys are responding as best they can, but it is hard to form consistency. Hopefully we can get guys healthy for sectionals.” Injuries include a broken hand, shoulder sprain, and a knee/leg injury.

Q. HAVE YOU SEEN MUCH IMPROVEMENT AMONG YOUR PLAYERS?

“Yes, but to varying degrees. The biggest difference I’ve noticed this year has been in footwork, ball handling, and decision making.”

Target. Regardless of why a student picked up colored folders, a task remains before them. One must label these folders. But what color belongs to each subject? Is math blue, or is it red? Is science blue or green? English has to be warm colors, right? And where does history fall into this mess? Today, we have two local high school students weighing in on the folder color debate, alongside their peers from the general AC student body. Take a look at the data below to find out what students of AC think. •

Q. WHAT IS THE TEAM’S GREATEST STRENGTH?

“We are just a great team to be around. We work well together and do not have to deal with a lot of nonbasketball issues.”

Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE TEAM NEEDS TO WORK ON THE MOST?

“We still need to work on team chemistry and how we gel together. Injuries are making this process very difficult due to roster shuffles and new people from JV coming up.” Mr. Knapp says the best way to mitigate this problem is to “hang out more” as a team.

Q. WHO IS HAC’S BIGGEST COMPETITION THIS SEASON? “Avoca were the state champs last year, and we will see them soon in sectionals. We expect them to be our toughest competitor.”

Q. HOW DO YOU THINK THE TEAM WILL DO IN THE UPCOMING SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT?

“We have the pieces - we just have to make sure everything fits together.” •
