Last season, Gateway boys basketball finished 10-13, but a new energy and excitement can be felt around this program and a lot of this is due to first year Coach Ibn Shabazz.
It's easy to see why there’s a bit of excitement and can even see the smile through the mask of Coach Matt Johannsen when he speaks about his current group of Fossil Ridge Sabercats.
Well, that escalated quickly!! We've already been treated to a ton of action, exciting games, and of course some early upsets that none of the experts saw coming.
Mother Nature took control of things last week and slowed our pace but we're heading into the home stretch of the regular season, last week's games will be made up, and league titles are on the line!
The cream is beginning to rise and can you believe we'll be half way through regular season as many team will play games 10 through 12 of the regular season schedule this week.
