Express About the Idaho Mtn. Sawtooth Central Idaho Conference action begins in mid-December. We'll need to play as five on the floor. We don't have a superstar, so we'll just have to play hard and be efficient. We're not going to compare ourselves to other teams.
Defense is the aspect of basketball where hard work really shows up.
We'll need to play aggressive defense and try to make it an up-tempo game. All the time, we'll try to be sound fundamentally and avoid mistakes. And it all has to start with our team defense. Last year's 8-16 Wood River squad played defense well enough to win seven road games, the most a Wolverine boys' team has won away from home since 1991. Although Wood River averaged 50.1 points per game, won two district tournament games and captured the McCall Christmas tournament, the Wolverines struggled mightily on their homecourt, winning only once and averaging barely 45 ppg in Hailey.
