... Coach Gabriel told me that I would be seeing a bunch of "youngsters" before the tip off of Nelsonville York vs Warren , I politely reminded him that THAT would be on both sides as both NY and Warren have only 2 seniors on either teams roster ... mark it down now - BOTH of these teams will be very good NEXT season and you better not sleep on them THIS season ...as we get into the 2026 portion of the schedule both teams are figuring out the varsity game - it's fun to watch knowing what each will have coming back for the 2026-27 season - no starting from scratch, no "figuring out" the strength/speed/opponents talent at the varsity level ... the game will be slowed down, the nuances of positions can be taught vs getting players in the right spots on the floor etc etc etc. when you've got the fundamentals of the game down, reading defenses/running offenses become second nature - going to be fun to watch ... excellent first game for the first game out of the box on Day 2 of the Spartan Classic !
