As the fall season comes to an end, the winter season begins. Westmont varsity boys basketball is ready to begin their non-league games this week. Their league games begin in January. The Westmont Warriors have been putting hard work into their pre-season and are ready to kick off their games. Non-league games give the warriors a chance to test different players’ lineups and build team chemistry without affecting their league standing. While non-league games count toward a team’s overall win-loss record, they do not count toward winning the league championship. Sophomore varsity member Jacob Mendoza shared his thoughts on the upcoming non-league matchups and what the team has focused on during pre-season training.
What are you most excited about for this upcoming season?
I am excited to be part of a new team and work and collaborate with my teammates. I really want to see how we grow as a team.
What is your favorite part about playing in non-league games?
I enjoy playing in non-league games because the stakes aren’t as high. When there are non-league games we get to see many new starters. It also shows us where we stand against other schools.
Which non-league game are you most looking forward to?
The SB tournament from December 28th til December 30th, tournaments are really fun to play at.
