Our Boys Basketball team played Hinesburg Central School last week. Here are Coach Tyler Macdonald’s reflections:
What I loved about this game is how clear it was that we needed everyone to be fully engaged, connected with one another, and to perform their role to their best ability. With a missing key player, we had chances for others to step into new roles and this happened beautifully.
If you saw the game you also might have been able to observe the contrast between the first and second half. The effort was consistent throughout the game, but in the second half we began to handle their defensive pressure differently–passing the ball more, and moving it from side to side. Although HCS played hard and tough, we did not lose our composure, and we kept our game plan. Most importantly, we played in a way that demonstrated the trust we have in each other. Trust is a very important aspect of any good team and a wonderful thing to be a part of. It is such a pleasure coaching this team!
