Coach Spencer Beaty is excited about the upcoming basketball season and looks forward to seeing how the players in the community have grown their game through hard work and dedication during the off-season. "Basketball is a sport that you can't really take time off from and walk away and then come back and sort of pick up where you left off. The game of basketball requires that you continue to sharpen your skills throughout the year. I have enjoyed working with all of my players this off-season, and I am excited about continuing to challenge them and watch them grow", Beaty stated.
