“There will be no crap talk,
just do our job and have positive
attitudes,” he added.
Gosnell said he loves the game
and is excited to help out the
program.
“I think we can learn a lot of
life skills from basketball — men-
tal toughness, not quitting,” Gos-
nell said. “They can take that and
apply that to their life after high
school — that’s a win.”
Huerta said he hopes to have a
positive influence on his players.
One athlete on the first fresh-
men team he coached called
Huerta on his birthday, five years
later.
“It shows you’re making an
impact,” he said.
The five seniors are showing
great attitudes, Huerta said.
“Tristan, he’s really bought into
being a positive leader, and Mason
is being more vocal,” he said.
“Nathaniel is a hard worker, Tay-
lor works his tail off all the time
and Warner is a work horse.”
Hunt said, with most of their
players returning, he’s optimistic
about the season.
“I’m pretty excited to see what
happens,” he said.
“Our expectations are high,”
Robertson said. “We all came here
Wednesday, December 4, 2019
to win, and that’s what we’re going
to do. We have a lot of energy and
excitement in the entire club.”
Hodge said his personal goal is
to work hard, improve and become
a better person.
Gerry said he thinks that he and
the other seniors will lead the team
well.
“We’re loud and talkative and
have a lot of will to win,” he said.
Morris said the team’s hard
work and having a “great coach”
is giving them confidence for the
season.
“I’m looking forward to win-
ning league and keeping every
team under 40 points,” he said,
adding those are team goals.
“Everyone is working hard on
defense.”
He said their thought for the
day for practice was a quote from
Vince Lombardi: “The difference
between a successful person and
others is not a lack of strength, not
a lack of knowledge, but rather a
lack of will.”
Huerta said everything the team
does on the court is celebrated.
“Every single thing,” he said.
After practice, each player took
a half-court shot, then all shouted
together and rushed toward the
coaches to huddle.
“I never thought I’d be here, but
The Eagle/Angel Carpenter
it’s always been a dream,” Huerta
said. “Not everything is going to be Grant Union Prospector Tristan Morris goes up to score under pres-
