United Red Storm Boys Basketball Credits Defense for Hot Start

Share

The United boys basketball team took home the second place plaque in the Rowva-Williamsfield Invitational tournament last week. United lost their tourney opener to Riverdale, before rattling off 4 straight wins to bring their record to 4-1 on the season. The Red Storm stepped up on the defensive end and hope to use that intensity to find their identity as a team.

Head coach Doug Dennison believes that his squad can use their defense to create more opportunities on offense.
