 Coming up just short in the region championship last year, the Johnson Central Golden Eagles are bound to make it back to Rep Arena with the help from some missing pieces. Well, our expectations every year is to compete in the district and regional championships and you know over the past few years we've been able to do that and just came up just a little bit short last year to a real good Lawrence County team so we don't expect anything less. You know our team comes into the season expecting to be there again and I think the missing piece as far as losing some kids to graduation was some size that we lost last year. We've got some newcomers here in Leon who's a pretty big kid around seven foot and then we've got the Collins kid who came back this year from last year who gives us another inside presence so I think that's the big thing that we were missing that we have to have in order to make our team complete. We're pretty much here line up for the most part we didn't have our big man over the summer obviously but I think he's a real good addition because he can get those boards that we need because we didn't really have that X factor I guess you could call it but he brings that to the table. It feels pretty good in Germany when the team up late my last season we lost every game. I would say like the game here is like a lot more physical and like it's a lot faster. I'm working on it. I'm getting better. I hope I can hope to win. We're an exciting team to watch. We like to get it up and down the floor. We like to turn the other team over and create easy opportunities for ourselves. We have a mantra here which is lay it up or set it up and if we don't have a layup in the fast break we like to set things up but most of the time we like to take a quick good quick shot out of a fast break and hope that we can get some offense rebound and stick it back in. We expect to get back to rough and make another run down there because once you get down there anything can happen and we have all the pieces back that we need to make another run towards a region of state championship. I think it will be a good year. Everybody come out and support us. We're going to make things happen. Take us back to rough. It's going to be a great year. You're going to watch a lot of exciting basketball this season. Reporting in Painesville for EKB Sports, I'm Makayla Colley.
