The AHSTW Boys Basketball Team is primed and ready for a bounce-back season after a disappointing showing a year ago. Although they finished near the bottom of the conference last season, the Vikings return a vast majority of their roster. This includes their top three scorers. Head Coach G.G Harris is excited to get the season underway and believes he has a great squad of young men.

Part of the strong returning group are seniors Luke Sternberg and Camden Soukup. Last season both were in the top 3 in scoring with Sternberg leading the way averaging 15.6 points and 3.5 steals per game. Soukup averaged 8.5 points per game and was their most efficient shooter, leading the team in field goal and 3-point efficiency. You also can’t forget junior Colin Harder who finished second on the team in scoring.  Harris, in addition to his praise of Harder, said he is happy to have Sternberg and Soukup as senior leaders for his group.

Finishing with a 5-15 record a season ago, there are plenty of improvements to be made. However,  with five of their losses came by 6 points or less, closing out games in the fourth quarter is at the top of Harris’ list.

An extra year of experience can make a massive difference in the play of a team, and Harris is planning on moving up the conference ladder and using his team experience to play better away from AHSTW.

With the season just a few weeks away, Harris and the team are excited. However, there might be a little more than normal as the Vikings open with a conference foe.

ASHTW’s season opener is scheduled for December 6th at 7:30 pm.
