Coach Basanese Names 2008-09 Captains
John Basanese named captains yesterday at the end of practice yesterday. Each year 3 players are selected who will be tasked with not only leading vocally, but by example on the field and off the field.
"I think that being a captain is a huge responsibility," Basanese said.
"These three are the guys who have shown the ability to lead through their actions, and I have the highest expectations for them in this regard."
The team this season has eight seniors, all of whom are expected to be leaders themselves, whether or not they wear the captain's armband.
"We really need to have our seniors step up this year. We have an opportunity to be really strong, but we need the leadership to extend beyond the three we selected as captains." Basanese concluded.
This year's captains are Jake Joseph, Britt Nelson, and Austin Mansker.
