The Varsity Men’s Basketball Team here at Walter Reed started the 2009 season with two very impressive victories this weekend. The first game of the weekend Walter Reed faced Fort Myer, a team which matched up very well from the top to the bottom of each team’s roster. Walter Reed jumped out quickly, pushing the ball and playing great defense that allowed them to have a 14 point lead at the end of the first half. Fort Myer played their best ball down the stretch causing several turnovers and forcing Walter Reed to deviate from their game plan. Big Man, Andre Hall, went back to work on the inside and hit five out of six free throws in crunch time. Behind the play of Hall, Walter Reed escaped with a 77-72 win.
The final game of the weekend was against Bolling Air Force Base. Walter Reed corrected many of their mistakes from the previous game and focused primarily on the defensive end, holding Bolling to only 40 points. The bench of Walter Reed scored 49 of the 76 points, allowing the starters some much needed rest. If Walter Reed plans to make a run at a championship, each member of this talented roster must play their best. The big test will be this Sunday against Fort Meade, a team that only lost one game last year. The Warriors will be without their highflying swingman, Bobby Driver, who is out with a foot injury, a critical blow to the teams’ offensive strategy. We hope to see the rest of the Walter Reed Family there cheering us to a VICTORY!
There is a BROTHERHOOD that is being built with this team and the only question that remains is……….. WILL YOU BE A PART OF IT?
