The Del Norte Warriors will take a 7-9 record into Big 5 play, which kicks off January 4 at McKinleyville.
Contributed photoIt’s been a busy start to the boys basketball season for the Del Norte Warriors, who played more pre-Christmas games than any other H-DNL team.
After closing out the Windsor tournament on Dec. 23, the players and coaches got to enjoy a couple of days off with their families for the holidays before returning to work this week as they continue their preparation for the Big 5.
“It’s been a long December,” said head coach Chris Rice, whose team traveled to play in four tournaments. “(Sixteen) games is a tremendous amount of games in one month.”
The Warriors went 1-2 at the Windsor tournament, which featured some challenging teams, and they are now 7-9 on the season.
They will begin league play on Wednesday (Jan. 4) at McKinleyville and will play three straight road games in the Big 5 before their first home league game against Arcata on Jan. 18.
(They also have a non-league home game against Hoopa on Jan. 10.)
And the head coach is expecting a battle in this year’s Big 5 with all five teams fancying their chances to win it all.
“I think you’ve got to defend your home turf and hopefully win a couple on the road,” he said. “I don’t think there’s a favorite. I think a team with a 5-3 or 6-2 record will win it all.
“It should be fun. It should be exciting.”
Rice admits, however, that his team is still a work in progress and he was looking forward to getting in the gym with his players this week for some undisturbed practice after such a hectic December schedule.
“We’re still trying to find our identity,” he said. “We’re not a very good defensive team right now, and we’ve got to stop turning the ball over. We’re still improving.”
Injuries and illness also have hindered the team’s early preparations, with multiple players missing time over the first month.
But the squad is getting healthy again and the head coach is seeing some notable progress.
Ethan Thomas has been the Warriors’ most consistent offensive threat so far, while the return of Wyatt Robson from long-term injury has given the team a boost.
The return of senior point guard Cooper Maxwell, who also missed some game through injury, has given the lineup some added energy.
Both Westyn Fitch and Brody Mattz, according to the coach, are coming off their best games yet for the team, with the latter evolving into a strong shutdown defender.
The team opened the Windsor tournament with a 64-46 loss to San Marin, with career-highs in points for both Fitch (12) and Ayden Antonetti (eight).
The following day they responded with a 65-26 win over Roseland Prep, with Thomas scoring a game-high 18 points, Robson finishing with 14 points and Lyon Rigden 10.
They closed out the tournament in a 59-41 loss to Analy, with Antonetti posting his second career-high in points in just three days with nine points.
Merrick Crabb led the team offensively against Analy with 10 points.
