Head Coach Charles Thomas says this season they will have a reversal of fortune and start winning ball games. Unfortunately they have started the season 0-4 but Thomas is optimistic because of the growth his team has showed. The Wolfpack seemed well on their way to the first victory of the year when they took on South Stokes last week. The game was closely contested throughout but the Wolfpack could not hold onto the late lead and lost it in overtime 49-45. "We are beginning to learn how to com pete at the level it takes to compete at and we are getting closer to earning the first vic tory of the season " said Thomas. "We just have to remember what we are supposed to do on the court and minimize the mistakes." Thomas says he looks for his team to "really compete and go hard" during the Lash-Chronicle tournament. He thinks his young team can really shock themselves if they give the maximum effort the tourna ment requires to advance. Dante Daniels is a good rebounder who defends the ball well. Jonte Lewis is a returning player from last season and Thomas looks for him to provide much needed leadership. Thomas says rebuilding a program from the ground up is a tough task but he is up for the challenge. "Learning to compete and actually get ting some victories in the win column is a big thing," Thomas says of his yearly goals "We are rebuilding the entire program and getting a couple of wins will be big." When asked what will winning the Lash-Chronicle tournament mean to him and his team Thomas said, "That would be big not only for us as a team and a coaching staff but that would be big for the school and the community because the basketball program has not won a tournament yet. That would be a big thing for the communi ty as a whole."
