Great start to the season. Slugfest W vs North Haven. Proud of how our guys answered all day long and made some big plays in key moments. Always looking to get better. And shoutout to @Jimmer_2 for his first career DUB as varsity head coach @New_Canaan_Base#NCPride#ctbase ๐โพ๏ธ

@CoachPHall23@CoachSwit & another point to make is kids/parents need to value playing with other kids in their town because thatโs who theyโll be playing with in high school!!
@CoachPHall23@CoachSwit C is the way to go!!! Playing other sports will allow you to move your body in different ways & make you a better athlete! Donโt get me wrong you should still be working on your โพ๏ธ game but I think a break from time to time can be beneficial
Very high ceiling and very high character kid. Canโt wait to continue working with him and watch him ball out the next 3 years. Never satisfied. Always room for improvement!
