The Alden varsity boys’ basketball team started the season off by being one of the smaller teams in the division.

With the head lineup consisting of juniors Timmy Boucher and Quinn Grover and led by senior John Weglarski, they look forward to a great season. They season didn’t start off so well but as they continued playing, the team built chemistry and friendship on and off the court.

Asked abou motivation, Robbie Westmiller said, “We got that dog in us.” He means that the whole team wants to win and make that connection even stronger.

The varsity team gives their best effort between academics and putting in the extra work, such as going to the weight room or shooting arounds with head Coach Mike Borton.  Coach Borton sometimes holds these practices for the team on his own time just for them to get better, talk strategies and have a good time bonding with his team.
