Junior Marcus Townes is looking to make an impact for the remainder of the Jonathan Law boys basketball season. Advocate Sports Editor Yeiden Nieves interviewed Townes on how his season is going so far.

Yeiden Nieves: How do you think your season is going so far?

Marcus Townes: We are definitely struggling a little but we have shown many flashes of great play. We just need to start stringing it all together and we will get right back on track. 

YN: What are your goals for the remainder of the season?

MT: We have four wins right now and we need to get to 8 to qualify for the state tournament. Every game is winnable so we just need to hone in our focus and pick up at least four more for the win column.

YN: What are some challenges you have faced throughout this season?

MT: As a team, we have struggled in the third quarter, especially the first 2-4 minutes. When we go on these negative runs at that point in the game it becomes hard to come back.

YN: What do you enjoy the most about basketball?

MT: I value how close we have gotten as a team. Games and practices become a lot of fun because everyone bonds so well with each other.

YN: What are you most excited about going in for the remainder of the season?

MT: Continuing to win games and working hard with my teammates to push for our goal of making the state playoffs.
