This year’s basketball team had a long way to go. As they progressed, they learned how to communicate better and have a better teamwork.

 

“It takes practice, [being] mentally and physically there, hard work, and dedication,” said Varsity Captain, Ebube Ozoemena.

 

They practiced non-stop during the week to improve their individual and team skills.

 

In the beginning of the season, Coach Hunter said, “We have a long way to go, and we’re just beginning to understand what hard work is.”

 

Although they were just starting, they knew exactly what they wanted and set to it in their minds. They had challenges and did not want to let their crowd down.

 

"The hardest thing when we played was when you didn’t want to let down the crowd. But, sometimes, it doesn't come out the way you want it," said Varsity player, Ryan Campbell.

 

The boys worked extremely hard to accomplish their goals as a team.

 

"[They have] outstanding effort, [and are] getting better everyday. [It is a ] very young team this year and they have potential," said Coach Hunter.On February 14, 2014, the boy’s varsity basketball team won their last game against Elizabeth Learning Center (ELC). The score was 75-60, putting them into the playoffs for the Southern League. The team ended their season by completing in the City Division III playoffs, last week, representing L.A.H.S. proudly.
