 Hello and welcome to the Gary Stewart Show. I'm Joe Wamba, joined with Gary Stewart, head coach of the men's basketball team. And coach, this past week, you get some solid performances out of one guy, Cameron Hayes, 20 points against Lebanon Valley and 14 against Arcadia at home this week. Our freshmen continue to improve. And Cameron's at the forefront of that, played excellent. I thought both games. He's doing a lot of the things that we're asking him to do in practice. You see that now come into fruition. He's got a bright future. Another one in that same class, freshman Mark Terrell, coming off the bench and contributing a lot. Mark was really good against Lebanon Valley. He established himself down in the interior. What we like about him is his versatility. He's able to play with us back to the basket, but he can step out and stretch the defense because he's a capable shooter from three. Yeah, I've seen him step out even in practice. And then in the game, when he steps out for the three-pointers, it just goes in. It's a wonderful shot. Yeah, he's got an excellent feel for offense. And he's certainly capable, and we want him to look for those opportunities. And I think one person, again, out of this young class is Ben Weibosch coming off and contributing and now being a starter. Yeah, I think both of our benchmen are playing really well. Ben Weibosch has given us a real push at the start of games with his energy, and he's a cerebral guy, very talented, excellent shooter. He figures brightly in our future plans. And Benjamin Young is so active and runs really well. He's got great hands. His best basketball is certainly ahead of him. And when we talk about this bench, I'm sure a good guy's coming off the bench and contributing, but it is kind of a short bench. You guys have been bit by the injury bug this year. Yeah, we have. Started 15 minutes into practice, and we lost for the season one of our better student athletes and Cameron Harrison. We've kind of been real in sense. Ryan Hill, as a person that we were leaning on heavily, he injured himself early, has not made it back yet. Cliff Cornish has struggled with injuries. We lost Taj Fleming here last week to a knee injury. Elijah Early is a freshman that has not played yet, working his way back. So we've had several people that figure prominently in what we want to do, get banged up a little bit at the start. It's tough, but you guys have been able to get contributions across the board for the guys that do get the suit up and play. What we've done is gone to the next person, and we've gotten some viable minutes and great contribution from a variety of people, and I hope that that continues. And now let's move into the contest that you guys have coming up. You're off this week as far as a midweek game goes. Come back against a non-conference game with Goucher. You guys go to York. The next five games are all on the road for you. They are, and some difficult venues. Goucher played very well last year against us, and we'll have our hands full there. And then York is five and two, and playing very well in the capital athletic conference. We get the Christmas break, and then on to Atlanta. And that Atlanta trip will be awfully important, as far as it's a team building experience, no doubt, when you get to do these types of trips. And it's going to be special for the guys traveling to Atlanta. Yeah, we really look forward to a trip like this, because it offers us a chance to get out of the region and see some other competition. We get to be together morning, noon, and night. So that's always a good thing. And it's very important that we work our way back to where we need to be, because conference picks up again in January. Yeah, that second half of the conference schedule is going to be widely important. And these games are going to be able to gear you up for that second half of the contest, as you make a push to get seated into the Commonwealth tournament. Yeah, we want to play in thirds. And so we've had a third of the year now is behind us. And so we're looking forward to the next chapter. And we talked to the guys after the game on Saturday about not worrying about the blind horse, just loaded the carriage, continued to be immersed in improvement. And we're really enthusiastic about what the future will bring. Well, coach, we share that enthusiasm with you and wish you the best of luck in this stretch of road games. We won't talk to you until 2017. That's just the way the schedule is working out for us. But we wish you the best of luck, these stretch of games coming up. Thank you, Joe. And happy holidays to you and everybody out there. Same to you and your family and your team's families as well. Thank you, Joe. He's Gary Steward. I'm Joe Wamba, and this has been the Gary Steward Show.
