2009-2010 season opener...the Scots

It is time for another year of Berry College basketball. It is always an exciting time when you start a season. As we go into the there are many questions that will need to be answered over the first few games. We are returning 9 players and we added 3 new ones to the roster. We lost a total of 5 guys off of last year's 19-12 campaign. We have talked about the new roles that some need to assume. Some will be counted upon to do much more scoring than in the past, some will be counted on to be a defensive stopper, some will need to play a much more significant role. We have all the confidence in the guys in our program. We need to have some success early in the season to feel a "collective confidence" with each other. In our two scrimmages we had some very positive times during those tests. We had a great 2nd half vs Emory, we had a great 1st half vs. UAH, so we know we can do it. It is going to be a matter of sustaining the good play over 40 minutes. Since the beginning of practice the guys have been working hard and making significant strides in individual improvement.We are pleased with the unity among this year's group. They seem to be a very tight knit group of guys. One of our main goals this season to to maintain the unity throughout the next four months.

We will try to maintain this website to keep you as updated as possible with the progress of our program. Our radio schedule will be the same as last year. Randy will be traveling with us for most conference double headers and Randy and Bob will be tag-teaming the home games! They do such a good job for us.

We have the best traveling families in the SSAC. Please, continue to your support and we look forward to seeing you tonight at 8:00 vs. the Covenant Scots.
