We asked four basketball players how they felt about their season. Most of the players had said that their season was great because Coach Miles would help them improve and make practice fun.
“Hi, my name is Omar Sanchez. My favorite moment in basketball was having fun and all the practices and Coach Miles making it fun for everybody. He helped me improve a lot. He taught me how to rebound, make layups, and other things. My favorite moment was when learning how to rebound the ball. My favorite teammate was Jayden because he would make me laugh every practice. My favorite memory was making my friends laugh during practice and game.”
“Hi, my name is Emiliano Mendoza. Something I liked about this basketball season is improving on rebounding, Mr. Miles really helped me improve on my game. One of the biggest injuries was well, I’m pretty sure I hyperextended my knee. There was a really tall guy. He was just elbowing people and stuff like that, and then he elbowed my head, and my head was hurting for two days straight. My third one was my knees, my knees were hurting, I couldn’t play. Most of the pain came from my right knee. My last one was during the playoffs. I had dislocated one of my elbows and my other elbow was bruised up. My favorite memory was hanging out with my teammates during the game and laughing and playing on the bus.”
“Hi, my name is Giancarlo Rivera. The basketball season was fairly great because I got to have fun with my friends. I learned that the game is a lot about teamwork and hard work, and having discipline and staying consistent. I feel like this could improve my daily life because it gets me more active and keeps me from getting bad grades. The reason I joined was because Nicholas Aguayo , Brandon Miles, and Giovanni Ramirez during spring break asked me to join. My favorite memory was practicing and learning how to play better defense.”
“Hi, my name is Daylen Johnson. My favorite moment during the basketball season was when we went to the playoffs. Being on the basketball team helped me keep my grades and keep my demerits low. My favorite thing was being at practice, running drills and running practice scrimmage. Basketball help me get close with my teammates and getting to know my teammates better. My favorite memory was going to the playoffs even though we lost.”
