By Alexander Cobbs One of the most recognized teams in the history of Saint Anthony sports is the boys basketball team. They are known for their consistent success, talented athletes, and amazing coaching staff. Over the years, they managed to capture a whopping 25 league championships and even a state title in 2000. If you ever see the team after school, you will most likely catch them in the Errion Gym practicing for their next opponent. But it isn’t always business for the Hoopers. Let’s take a look at what happens behind the scenes for the boys basketball team here at Saint Anthony. When it is not time for their practice, the Hooper Saints spend a lot of time in what they call the “Team Room” inside the Team Room is a comfortable lounge where the players can relax and have fun while they wait for either practice or their games. When the coaches arrive in the room, they show the players footage of previous games of their opponents and the players study them before taking action on the court. The Basketball Team spends a lot of time together on and off the floor. When they aren’t hooping they are either hanging out together or going out to eat. Here at Saint Anthony, the coaches and players establish a brotherhood amongst the team and make sure that they are always bonded together, which makes the chemistry of the team very healthy.
After beating their opponent or handling their business at practice, the Saints go home and take care of their schoolwork to make sure that they are never behind in the classroom. The coaching staff reinforces this by having occasional grade checks at lunchtime. This helps with the success of the players by helping them not only become great athletes, but also exceptional young men. It is safe to say that there’s a lot more to the Boys Basketball Team than other students may think.
