Boys Basketball Season Updates

By VCS Senior Kynadi Gordon

With the start of the basketball season just days away, as their first home game is December 9 the Valley Eagles basketball varsity team appears more prepared than ever. Weeks of focused training, daily practices, and a renewed commitment to excellence have positioned the team to open the season with confidence.

Head Coach Caroll and assistants Mr. Madison and Mr. Pecchia began off-season workouts early this year, emphasizing fundamentals, conditioning, and disciplined teamwork. Practices have included intensive shooting sessions, defensive drills, and full-court scrimmages designed to simulate game-day pressure. Players have also taken part in strength and conditioning programs to improve endurance and physicality.

Players' increased workload has strengthened both their individual skills and their bond as a team. Many have been arriving before practice and staying afterward to get extra shots up, study plays, or run drills with teammates.

Deion and Jordan have placed a major emphasis on communication and trust coaches believe will be key to success this season. Early scrimmages have already shown signs of a more cohesive unit, with improved ball movement and a stronger defensive presence.

As anticipation builds in the community, the Valley Eagles basketball team is eager to take the court and showcase the results of their dedication. With a strong work ethic and a unified mindset, the team hopes to make this season one to remember
