North Creek — The Johnsburg boys basketball team will try to improve on their last season’s record of 6-12.
Coach Gene Maiorana and Assistant Coach Randy LaFountain say “enthusiasm abounds” at the Johnsburg Central School as the hard-working Jaguars concentrate on fundamentals and prepare for the season.
Six members of the squad are returnees — including seniors Chester Prouty, Jonathan Sears and Zach Watson — and the five new faces all have had experience playing for the Jaguars’ modified team in previous years.
Missing from the roster this year are graduates Chris Scott, John Gahan and offensive powerhouse Taylor Ordway.
“To make up for that loss, we are utilizing a more balanced offensive strategy,” Coach Maiorana said. “Defensively this year’s players are showing promise with their upgraded skill levels, leading to a competitive season.”
The coaches and the team promise fans a basketball season which will be “very entertaining.”
The team begins its regular season on Tuesday, Dec. 4 at Keene.
