An Inside Look at Centerville High School's Basketball Team. As the new basketball season approaches, fans and players alike are filled with anticipation and excitement. This is especially true for the Centerville High School basketball team. With a strong team goal of "competing with discipline to our standard", Coach Brook Cupps sets high expectations for the team this season. In an exclusive interview, Coach Cupps shares his thoughts on the team's top returning players, new additions, his approach to team chemistry, and the challenges and changes of the upcoming season. When asked about the top returning players, Coach Cupps immediately names Sam Keely, Trey Sam, and Myles Houston. These players have stood out for their hard work and improvement since last season, making them strong contenders for the role of team captain. As sophomores, they have already proven their dedication and commitment to the team, and Coach Cupps believes they will continue to be crucial players in the upcoming season. What sets these players apart is not just their athletic abilities, but their willingness to embrace their roles within the team. Coach Cupps values players who fully understand and value the roles of their teammates, creating a strong sense of unity within the team. This chemistry, combined with their skills, makes the returning players essential to the team's success. Eli Greenberg, Ethan Greenberg, and Cohen Ellis are the new additions to the team that Coach Cupps believes will make an immediate impact. These players have been a part of the team's previous successful seasons, including two state runner-up titles. Having played a lot of basketball in the Centerville system, they are familiar with the team's dynamics and ready to contribute to the team's success. For Coach Cupps, selecting team captains is not a task he takes on lightly. He believes that naming captains can create a hierarchy within the team, which goes against the team dynamic they are trying to establish. Instead, Coach Cupps encourages all players to embrace the accountability that comes with being a captain. By doing so, he hopes to foster a sense of unity and teamwork within the team. Having a strong team chemistry is vital to any successful team.
