As the new basketball season approaches, fans and supporters of the Baker High School team are eagerly awaiting to see how the team will perform. Coach Jebron Jones is determined to lead the team to success, by focusing on a strong work ethic, building team chemistry, and pushing players to their full potential. Let's take a closer look at the team and what we can expect from them this season. One of the key factors in the team's success will be their experienced players. Coach Jones highlights six returning players from last season who will have a big impact on the team this year. Jaxon Logsdon, Isaiah Jones, Eli Long, Rasean Jones, Grant Gambleton, and Palmer Chandler all have winning mindsets, pushing their individual goals aside for the good of the team. These players are not only talented on the court, but they also possess important leadership qualities. Coach Jones believes that having strong team chemistry is crucial for success, and this starts with the team captains. However, the final decision has not been made, and the team will have tryouts in mid-November to determine who will take on this role. While the returning players will play a key role on the team, Coach Jones is also looking forward to seeing how the new players will fit in. No decisions have been made yet, but tryouts will be a crucial time to see which players will make an immediate impact. With the strong foundation of experienced players, Coach Jones hopes that the new players will be able to learn from their teammates and quickly adapt to the team's style of play. For Coach Jones, team chemistry and motivation go hand in hand. He believes that chemistry is developed daily, both on and off the court. The team will have three or four captains this year, chosen for their ability to lead and the respect they have from their teammates. Coach Jones sees them as an extension of himself on the court, and their leadership will play a vital role in keeping the team motivated and united. In terms of individual motivation, Coach Jones believes that players should push themselves to be the best version of themselves, on and off the court. He trusts that the players have the motivation within themselves to work hard, and he is there to guide and support them along the way. As with any new season, there are bound to be challenges.
