It is now the beginning of November, and all basketball fans know what that means - it is basketball season! The whole team is getting very excited for our upcoming events. On November 16th, we will open the season at Olivet College.
In practice, we have been working intently on pressure defense and the quick style of play we want on offense. In addition, we have been working on implementing our zone defense. We also have been focusing on not allowing teams second chances, so we have been doing many rebounding drills. If we do not box out or rebound in practice, we do push-ups to help remind us for the next time, and of course to make us stronger!
Recently, we participated in BOO Bowling at Holiday Lanes with all the other DC sports teams. It was also a costume party, so members of the team dressed up for the occasion, bowled and ate pizza. This was sponsored by the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) so it was free to all athletes. Jacket Madness is on November 4th, and all students on campus have the opportunity to participate in a three-point shooting contest with our players joining in the fun. The purpose of this event is to introduce both men’s and women’s basketball teams and gear up the campus community for Yellow Jacket basketball.
Go Jackets!
