The Hebron 2022-2023 Basketball team started the season with high hopes and a willingness to give it their all on the court. The team, day in and day out, put in their hardest effort at practice, always going the extra step to improve their skills. When asked about the team, the 6’6 senior from Georgia, Giorgi Maglaperidze said, “the team chemistry has come a long way from the start. We are starting to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses each game, connecting on a more personal level as a full team.” The number of basketball players was scarce, with only thirteen team members due to injuries in the season. However, these players were extremely dedicated to achieving excellence. Coach Amory Weld said, “this team has come a long way; towards the beginning of the season, games weren’t competitive, and teams had already marked Hebron as a win on their schedule. But as the games continued, the team found a spark. Making games extremely close, losing in the final seconds of numerous games.” As the mighty Lumberjacks reach the season’s final two games, the expectation for a win is unprecedented. The 5’9 senior, Corey Garvin, is “willing to do whatever it takes” to produce a win for the season and finish the season on a positive note.
