You thought you could get rid of him? It’s Jonathan Lambros. You can’t stop Jonathan Lambros from coaching TPA basketball. He may have spent three seasons away from the team, but now he’s back and in charge. Coach Lambros has been getting his team ready for the season for a while and is glad the season is finally in full swing.

Over the summer, the team took a weekend trip to California where they played in a local tournament taking on teams that exceeded the caliber of teams from their season so far. Although they didn’t get great results from the games, they had become closer as a team and were able to spend some quality time on the beach. They have also been working whenever possible during the fall season.

Still, preparation can only get a team so far; execution is a whole other situation. Junior Adam Gad says, “We’ve got the talent to win games, we just don’t use it to our fullest potential on the court.” The season has been rather tough for the team as they have gone winless through their first six games.

The team doesn’t plan on quitting any time soon though. The game of basketball often depends on one or two strong runs. All the team needs is a burst of success to set them on the right track. They will continue to rely on their fast-paced strategy to push themselves into that position.

If you are ever looking to watch an energetic game, help out the team and cheer them on at the gym after the break.
