Having a number of football players on your team can sometimes be a good thing.

That’s what the Edwin Parr Composite senior boys basketball team is looking at to start the season, one that head coach Wade Hicks considers a positive.

“We have four or five guys that over six feet, two inches and only two that were not on the football team during this past season,” Hicks stated.

He added that will also bode well for the team being able to handle what will be a physical season.

The only concern he has is being able to get the guys ready to be able to play.

“I was somewhat surprised with just how quick a few of them were,” said Hicks.

“And while some of the skills need some work, they have been giving it their all right from the start, so that was fairly neat to see.”

The boys began their season last night with a league game in Barrhead. The result was unavailable at press time.
