The West Central Area Knights boys’ JV basketball team had a successful campaign in 2022-2023.  They compiled 20 wins and five losses during the season.  Everyone who played gave excellent effort and came a step closer to becoming a varsity basketball player.

The Knights averaged 56 p/g and gave up 41 p/g.  That’s an amazing margin of victory of 15 p/g.  They accomplished this by using multiple full court and half court defenses.  They played an up-tempo brand of basketball which led to many transition baskets.  The team executed well in the half court when called upon as well.

Five different players led the Knights in scoring on different nights.  This balance shows the unselfishness and teamwork they played with.  Fifteen different players found time on the court during the season.  Each of these players worked hard on their individual games and learned valuable team concepts.

These players have not only become better basketball players, but better people, by accepting their roles on a team.  Not everyone is the star, but everyone is important to the success of the team.  They learned to put their best foot forward even if it wasn’t the role they wanted.  This year’s team worked on more than fundamentals.  The team brought many life skills to the court.  Teamwork, self-motivation, trust, focus, attitude, and having fun were all integral parts to their success.  Congratulations to these fine young men on their successful season.

Thank you to the parents, fans, trainers, managers custodial staff, administration and everyone else who supported the team.

Team Members:  Robby Rederth, Tristan Fagre, Parker Prahl, Brady Lindquist, Ben Nyreen, Dane Anderson, Sam Hanson, Ben Bye, Simon Moritz, Cash Nelson, Owen Sanstead, Carter Kjesbo, Dijon Olson, Gavin Backman, Austin Bennett, Marshall Dewey and Issac Allen.
