Carver Yellowjackets
A good mixture of youth and talent could
pay dividends for Carver
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY
THE CHRONICLE
Youth seems to be a common trend for
many of the teams in this years tournam&nt.
It's no different for the Carver
Yellowjackets, which could be a gift and a
curse.
With youth there comes a promise of
talent but youth also brings mental mis
takes. For the Carver Yellowjackets they
hope the former is what awaits them this
season.
Currently the Yellowjackets are 1-3 on
the season. They won their season opening
game against Andrews but have dropped
three in a row suffering two blowout losses
to Winston-Salem Prep and Parkland in the
process.
Head Coach Raheem Martin expects to
win early and often this year. He says he
feels even though his team is young their
talent should win in the end. He says of
course every team wants to win the whole
thing and will prepare his team to the best
of his ability to do so.
Offensively Martin says forward Collin
Baker should be one of his leading scorers
during the Lash-Chronicle tournament. He
said Baker may not look athletic but he is
very good around the basket. Guards
Kemond Bethea and Kore Vincent will run
the backcourt. Martin says he wants his
two guards to "run the show" while his
team is on the floor. Freshman Steven
Thon will be thrown into the mix as well.
Carver wants to run on offense and
defense. Coach Martin says they will full
court press an opponent for many parts of
the game. Offensively he said they will run
at an opportunity to get their athletes in the
open floor and easy buckets around the rim.
"Just growing as men. not necessarily
wins and losses. I would love to win every
game but as long as they grow as young
men and have a little bit of fun during the
season that will be a success," Martin said
of his hopes for his team during the season.
