The Boys Basketball season was somewhat of a middle of the road type of season. They had their ups and their downs with a fairly young team. The team has only 3 seniors and the best player from a talent perspective is a freshman by the name of Sincere Carry and he has great potential to be special by the time he graduates. This is their first tournament game and it is down the road against Bedford at Bedford High School. This is the second year where the first two rounds of tournament games are played at the home of the higher seeded teams. This is a new procedure as for previous years all of the games were played at designated sites throughout the state. The reason behind this change was for awarding successful teams a chance to play tournament games at home for the first rounds and the schools to collect a share of the gate proceeds from pre-sale proceeds in addition to running the concession stand where the profits go to the booster clubs. From an administrative standpoint, Mark attends these games to exhibit his support of the players and of the school. From a hosting perspective, the Athletic Director from Bedford was re-positioning himself constantly throughout the contest ensuring safety and proper crowd control measures were intact. It helps with school security and Bedford police on duty to ensure an orderly contest. By the way, Bedford showed why they are a higher seeded team by beating Solon 63 - 52.
