The Feature Attraction
|
The
program was given by Bob Szorc, Alleman High School boys basketball coach. He presented some of the dilemmas of being a
new coach at a new job but assured the Club members that the Pioneers will once
again uphold all of the positive features of the great Alleman basketball
tradition. The phrase he used was, "Play
hard, play smart and play together."
With a largely young team, he suggested that there will be a lot of
learning while doing and that the team will be working on its fundamentals as
the season goes on.
