Team Summary & Outlook

If we play hard, smart, and together as a team, we will have a very successful season. We need to be a tough team, both physically and mentally, and we need to be able to play through adversity.

What challenges does your team face this season?

We need to play true team basketball and everybody needs to accept their role on the team in order to have a successful season. We are a deep team who is battle tested and experienced, but ultimately, we need to be a true team if we want to win games. The best teams play for each other, not with each other, so convincing our kids of that will be our biggest challenge.

The Crimson Tide open up their 2024-2025 campaign on 12/3/2024 against the Hazleton Cougars.
