Poca High School basketball season of 2011-2012 is finally here! I have been waiting for this season since it ended last year! Last year the boys had one of the best seasons they’ve ever had and the girls had a great year as well. Hopefully we will both do well, and maybe we will finish our seasons at the civic center.
Personally, I am very excited for this basketball season but I’m also sad high school basketball is about to come to an end. I am now a senior here at Poca and I have been playing on the lady dots varsity basketball team since my freshman year. Through the last three years we have had many great memories. We have made it to regionals, I have scored my 1000th point, we beat Scott, (Number 2 in the state) we also beat our rival Sissonville, and I have made so many memorable experiences from playing high school basketball. Since this is my last year playing basketball at Poca, I want to make it the best yet. Last year we had a young team that wasn’t quite developed yet, but this year we will be more experience and we have learned how to gel as a team. Even though we lost Madi McGrew, who was one of our best players, hopefully everyone will step up and keep working hard. My goal through high school has always been to make it to states. We came close my freshman year but we haven’t been close since. I want to go to states in basketball this year more than anything, and I know we can do it. I know we have a small team, but if we play like we are capable of doing, I know we will get there!
I am also excited for the boys’ basketball team this year as well! They had an amazing year last year, and they finished their season at the civic center in the semi- finals against Scott. Even though the boys’ basketball team had 5 seniors last year, they still have plenty of talent left on their team. I also believe many people under estimate the boys’ basketball this season. I know they may not have as good of a team as they did last year, but I honestly believe many people will be surprised and they will have a great season!
So good luck to the Poca High School girls and boys basketball team this year! Let’s finish at the civic center!
