The Varsity Men’s Basketball Team

Enthusiasm is skyrocketing for the 2008-09 Varsity Men’s basketball team.  Our athletes are working hard this summer at basketball camps, local gyms, playgrounds and driveways, developing skills and getting in shape for our second season.  Led by returning standouts James Marshall and Kyle Brooks, the Blazers will also return with the rest of the entire supporting cast.  After a year of development, and the addition of a few more talented recruits at key positions, the Varsity Trailblazers have much to be optimistic about the upcoming season.  You can tell these players have been working hard in the offseason.  After just a few months of workouts at the dinner table and the weight room, I am amazed at these guys are growing.  The Trailblazers will be bigger, faster, and stronger basketball players in fall.  Already known for our physical style of play, we look forward to adding better shooting, ball handling, and all basketball fundamentals to our team game.  Join with us in the excitement about the upcoming season, and if you are interested in playing for the Trailblazers contact me.

Blazers on 3, 1-2-3- BLAZERS!
