There is always the ultimate goal of attaining excellence in sports. The exact definition of that goal differs for many, but not the Biggersville basketball program. Excellence, for them at least, is climbing the mountain top and bringing home the gold ball – nothing more, nothing less. In 2021, head coach Cliff Little and his boys squad took home the gold ball, while the girls team fell short. This year, though, Little and his teams achieved their ultimate goal – utter dominance on both sides of 1A basketball in 2022. The season was filled with magical moments, from the boys making a road trip all the way to Kentucky to beat a perennial power Webb School of Knoxville, Tenn., to the epic comeback ability of the girls’ squad led by Division 1-1A Girls Basketball player of the Year Hannah Seago, and according to Little, it all started after last year. Cliff Little is a huge Kobe Bryant fan, and that mentality tends to trickle down into his teams and practices. Bryant was once asked after a playoff game in which he led the Los Angeles Lakers if he was happy that his team went up 2-0 in the seven game series. His answer? “Why should I be happy? Job’s not finished.” Little and his teams used this motto all season. PAGE 32
