 Basketball never stops. That is a popular phrase among basketball players, originating from Nike shirts with the same motto on them. For the boys’ basketball team, that well-known tagline holds true.
With the season not starting until December 4 at Indianola, the Rams are already preparing for that matchup.
            Along with playing about 100 games this past summer, the team has been attending team camps, which will help them get ready for the season.
            “We went to about six team camps, so with that we all found our roles,” said senior Chris Henderson. “Once the season starts, it will be real easy to come together, which we already have.”
            The basketball program also started open gyms on September 1, available to players and people planning to play basketball for the upcoming year. At open gyms, the team does about 45 minutes of drill work, and then scrimmages for the last 30-45 minutes.
            “[To prepare for the season] we’ve been going over some of our offenses, doing some shooting drills, dribbling drills, just trying to get everyone back into basketball mode,” Henderson said.

            Once the season starts, Southeast Polk will try to make a run, avenging the loss to Lincoln in sub- state that they suffered. If they keep this work ethic up, they could be in for a very solid season.
