Tabor is low on height, high on potential BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE Mt. Tabor head coach Willie Harrison says this is probably the shortest team he has ever coached on the Junior Varsity level. To overcome the lack of height his team possesses they will have to rebound as a team and use that as a way to push their fast break. The Spartans are currently undefeated on the year with tight victories over Charlotte Christian and Lake Norman high schools. They will face stiffer opponents in the tournament as the number six seed. Harrison says his team must get better on both ends heading into the tournament. "So far this season we have done some good things like sharing the ball and play ing together," Harrison said. "We have had moments of making the correct defensive assignments but we have to get better all the way around." "Here at Mt. Tabor no matter what we are going out to try and be the best JV team around. That's our goal every year so we strive to win and 1 hope we can accomplish that this year." Twins Aaron and Andrew Muse will provide some much needed offensive fire power according to Harrison. Freshman Jordan Hunter is a dynamic athlete an.d looks to contribute immediately. Fellow freshman Jakob Moore will have to play big in the post for the Spartans. Duncan Smits will provide leadership as a returning player. "I'm going to lean on all 12 but some of the guys might stand out more than others," Harrison said of his team. Harrison stated that in the last two years his team has gotten close to the champi onship game but has fallen short. He says this year he would love to actually make it to the championship game and be able to take home the title. "The toughest thing is getting all these kids time on the floor playing," Harrison went on to say. "Developing skills is very important to me, that's my goal and that's what I'm trying to do."
