Lakewood High School Basketball Season Preview

Coach Alexander Cammock and his coaching staff have high hopes for the Lakewood High School basketball team this season. After a strong showing last year, the team is determined to continue its growth and success. With the move to Division 2 and the addition of new players, Coach Cammock believes that this year may hold even more promise for the team. The key returners for the Lakewood High School basketball team this year are seniors Lucas Seguine and Luke Vannucci. Both players have a lot of experience and a strong skill set that makes them valuable assets on the court. Seguine is known for his impressive scoring ability, averaging nearly 15 points per game last season along with 5 assists and 5 rebounds. Vannucci, on the other hand, is a sharpshooter and made 114 3-pointers last season with an average of over 19 points per game. Both players also bring a strong leadership presence to the team. Coach Cammock is also excited about the potential impact of new players on the team. Look out for sophomore Riley Verderber, who brings a combination of offensive and defensive skills to the court. Senior Brady Long is another player to watch, with his competitive spirit and versatility that will help space out the defense. When it comes to choosing team captains, Coach Cammock takes a hands-off approach. He believes that team captains should be chosen organically, through the actions and behaviors of the players. However, he does value qualities such as unselfishness, competitiveness, and being a good teammate when considering potential captains. For Coach Cammock, a successful team is built on strong relationships and a positive team culture. He emphasizes the importance of players committing to the team and program not just on the court, but also in their daily lives through proper nutrition, rest, and school work. Off the court, the team spends time together and focuses on being good teammates. Coach Cammock believes that this camaraderie and chemistry will translate into success on the court. To motivate his players, Coach Cammock focuses on creating a culture of unselfishness and highlighting instances of great teamwork. He also encourages players to push themselves to their full potential by setting high expectations and providing them with opportunities to make decisions on the court.
