The Webster Tigers Boys Basketball Team
In this post, I would like to talk about some basketball. I haven’t made a post about basketball since last semester and I wanted to talk more about Tallon and keep everyone updated on how he and the team is doing. This has been quite a crazy season for the Tigers, they have been through quite a lot of different situations that could’ve made them have a better record. Enough with this intro, now lets dive in!!
Starters
We are going to start this off by talking about the starters for the team. I am going to name them off left to right. Starts with Carsen Stenberg, Owen Washburn, Tallon Parent, Tanner Pardun, and finally Coleton Peterson. It’s crazy to say, but only two of these players started every single game.
Alright, since you are now familiar with the starters, I am going to talk about what this team could’ve been. The reason why I say this is because people on the team started getting injuries that really hurt the team. The team isn’t really deep for backups(that are good and experienced). Tanner Pardun; number 10, he ended up spraining his ankle which still hurts him during games, so he isn’t able to play with his full potential clearly. He is a key factor now since he is the point guard but with this injury it can effect how well he plays in playoffs. Carsen Stenberg; number 22, he ended up tearing his ACL against Unity the second time the team faced them. He was a huge factor for the team and by far the best guard in the conference. Now, we move onto Coleton Peterson; number 32, he tore his meniscus and he had to sit games. He got “healthy” but he isn’t fully recovered from the surgery, he still feels pains in his knee during the games.
Why do the Injuries Matter?
These injuries matter because with these players abilities affects how far they are able to make it in the playoffs. This also affected how the Tigers were seeded in the playoffs. Since they didn’t have some players for certain key games which have affected the Tigers record/seeding. The Tigers have lost 7 games that have been lost by under five points!!! That is crazy to just imagine that a few plays could’ve had them possibly being the best team in the conference and their seeding.
The End?
I personally do not know how far they will make it in the playoffs but I do believe if everything goes right, they should be able to make it to somewhere. Basketball is just a hard sport to predict, it all depends if shots are falling or sometimes on how the refs are. Refs could possibly make a bad call or even not make an important call. Anyways, this is all I had to write about for the Tigers, let me know if you want me to do one of these on your school. :))))
