Everyone can feel the love of the game bouncing off of the basketball games’ court. Perry High School’s men’s basketball team is very talented, each individual contributes a skill to make the team incredible.

Freshman Michael Lord who played on the junior varsity team this season said,

“My favorite part of the team was being around all the guys because we have such a strong group.”

Behind the excitement of game nights, there something special about the team that cannot be seen through the crowds eyes. Their big achievements weren’t attached with a poor team bondage. Before every game, they listen to music to hype them up before getting on the court.

“My favorite part of the team was being around all the guys because we have such a strong group.”

His first year playing, they finished with a record of 18-1.

Senior guard Jordan Harris has been on the team since his freshman year, and played his last game in January. He explains how in the beginning, not all of the players clicked. But, once they got to know each other better they grew to be lifelong friends. His favorite part at practices is just always laughing and behind around one of the few groups of people he could be himself around.

With a state ranking of 16 and a national rank of 900, Perry’s players are very dedicated. They work hard in every instance they’re given and continue to strive to the top.
