BLUE HILL—Success on the basketball court has become a culture for the George Stevens Academy boys basketball program, and with the season start only a few days away, the team has been busy preparing for what coach Dwayne Carter hopes will be another strong showing for the Eagles.

GSA boys basketball team feeds off culture  of success

This season brought out 47 athletes to tryouts, according to Carter, 24 of which were freshmen.

“That is the most athletes trying out for our team since I have been a varsity coach for the last 17 years,” he said. “The amount of freshmen I believe is a result of our success, and they were the kids that were in fifth through eighth grade and watched the state championship runs.”

Carter said his team has been making improvements throughout preseason play, and that the players continue to learn the system during each scrimmage. His team also worked out during the offseason, and many played fall basketball as well.
