Men’s Basketball Still Confident With 8-6 Record This Year

Men%E2%80%99s+Basketball+Still+Confident+With+8-6+Record+This+Year

Bucks Men’s Basketball team
has had a nice season thus far,
but they are not quite done as the
Centurions need to win four of
the final five games to qualify for
Region XIX playoffs. Players on
the team are still confident, after
maintaining a chip on their shoulder
throughout the season.

Jrue Sanoumega, Guard and
health science major, hit a pivotal
three-point shot to send his team
to overtime against the second-
ranked team in the regional
division, Northampton Community
College in just his first year.

Somah Slewion, team captain,
and a sophomore business administration
major said, “It was the
greatest moment of the season,
really showed us what we can do
when we come together.”

Matt Ricketts, a sports management
major, a second year player
said, “Beating a division two
school (Valley Forge) was a big
step for us.” He added, “We were
also shorthanded that game just
showing the grit and that helped
them grow and progress this season
after a big win.”

Bucks now stands at 8-6 in
the conference and 8–11 overall.
Bucks has an uphill battle ahead
but they are determined to get it
done. Positive attitudes can only
lead to good outcomes, and some
teams could be intimidated by
a hungry, young team making
marks in the regionals.

Ricketts states, “If we make
the playoffs, as we should, there
could be some sort of run, and
these other teams should be on the
lookout.”

Slewion adds, “These teams
aren’t looking to see us in the
post season, they will be looking
out for us because they know we
have gotten close to beating them
before.”

With all of this uplifting energy
surrounding the team, it will be
an exciting finish regardless of the
final outcome. Bucks has had a
hard-fought year but it is not over
just yet.
