STAND UP AND SHAKE IT OFF!!!

Its a new year out with the old in with the new. So far this season has been pretty challenging ,but it is up to the team to turn around. Fans,coaches,parents,friends,and managers can't want it for you until you want it for yourself you will never be successful. Its time to standup and play fight and go as hard as you can for however long you are on the court. Shake off the old you and when practice comes tuesday this team needs to be refreshed and brand new from the bench to the starters. Another thing is its time for the right people to be in the game at the right time everybody need to contribute in some way dont play like sissys and have the front of that jersey mean something averaging 7 points a quarter is unacceptable if everyone plays inside their game and hustle dat is the key to a winning formula. There were some highs at the beginning of the season but now we are at our low of lows so when we get out of this it will make the team better as a whole. If this team will be successful its time out for the excuses you chose are you with us or against us. So its time to start the real and true journey to march 3rd and lets compete in every game but it all starts in practice.. Yes practice!!! It starts with the coaches and ends with the players. Now lets do it 2012 the year of new begginings for the Ribault Trojans and remember stand up and shake off the old season because a new you and a new team is beiing birth out in 2012.

How sweet the taste of victory is!!!

What a game the debut for highschool basketball for alot of players in the game of all games "RIBAULT VS RAINES". A great start and finish to the game led by Coach Harold and company we pressed those vikings all game and scored easy baskets. But in the middle quarters we were a little lazy but were pulled thru in the end by the big 3 players of the game Point guard/Shooting guard Breon Morris, Point guard khaliel "stump" Greene, and Christian Capers. With clutch 3s and working the ball inside. On the other side there were too many missed free throwns and ill advised turnovers and shots taken. Everyone needs to make sure they play inside their game,but on a positive note this game was a total team effort. The play that i believe changed the momentum of the game in our favor is when Stump crossed over a Raines defender and finished it off with a no look pass to Breon Morris for a 3 pointer. The co-mvps of the game are: Khaliel Greene who ran the offense smooth, had some key dribble drives, and hustled all game. The other mvp is Christian Capers who was especially great in the 2nd half working the post with a variation of post moves scoring in key situations and grabbed rebounds constantly all game. There were also some players who gave the team good energy like in the 1st quarter Shooting guard Jante Boston had quick hands and got a couple of steals and knocked down constant layups; colton harris had some good plays on defense and knocking down a layup or 2. In all it was a complete team victory that was made closer by some interesting shot selections and some lazy defense but when it came to clutch time like always the Trojans were primed to perform. Which ended in an astounding victory 49-44 to set the tone for the triple header sweep of Ribault over Raines.
