The Law boys basketball team recently finished off the winter season with a record of 7-13.

The senior captains of this year’s team were Alex Rodriguez, Cam Upchurch, and Charlie Becker. The captains thought the season went unexpectedly well after posting a 4-16 record a year ago.

“I think the season this year went better than many people expected,” Rodriguez said “We had some really fun, intense, and exciting games.”

Assistant Coach Mr. McPartland said that Law will use this season’s outcome as fuel for next year.

“If you lose your very last game of the year, it’s the worst day of the season by far,” McPartland said “However, I do think it’s important to hold onto that feeling a bit and use it to fuel the work we do in the offseason.” 

Upchurch said his most enjoyable game this season was at Branford.

“The most enjoyable game for me was probably Branford away,” Upchurch said “It was a great team win and it was fun before the game and a great bus ride home.”

Becker he enjoyed all of the games as well as watching his younger teammates play.

“I didn’t have one most enjoyable game,” Becker said. “I enjoyed all the games in general, I liked watching the young kids play JV and freshman ball, and lastly, I loved the group of kids we had on this varsity team.”

The Law basketball team is a very young team and returning members are excited to see even more improvement next season.

“We have lots of young players in the program on the JV team as well as the varsity team,” freshman Dylan Gaillard said. “On this year’s team we had six seniors and we had seven non-senior players on varsity.”

McPartland thought that the captains did a wonderful job being the leaders on this year’s team. They made the underclassmen feel welcome and at home.

“A huge part of what we do revolves around the standards we have for each other and how we do things., McPartland said “The upperclassmen have not only modeled what we expect from our players on the court in terms of doing the little things how we hardly play etc… but they have also shown them what it means to be a Lawman to put other people first into care deeply about the community of which we are a part.”
