Cowboy bball wrap-up- Coach Lantzky offers his thoughts on this season

Published by editor on Wed, 03/17/2021 - 7:20am

Season reflection: This was a very strange year. Due to COVID we were not able to do any in person player development in the summer. Our team was not able to attend team camps. There is a lot of improvement that is done in those times. Our players played basketball on their own time throughout the pandemic. At the beginning of the year, we were not sure we would even have a season, but thanks to good decisions from our administration and Wright County Public Health, we were able to play all but one game this season! That is a huge success in its own right.
