| High School Boys Basketball - Daniel Richard |
Daniel Richard is one of the most dedicated athletes that Blackville School has ever seen. He spends most of his free time with a basketball in his hands. His dedication to the sport helps him shine on the court. Richard is an extremely hard worker and never gives up on a play. He goes hard until the final whistle has blown. Richard also is a great aspect to keeping the team going. He has team building skills and always rallies our boys before and after the games; no matter the outcome. Daniel Richards fantastic energy transfer onto the court and into his game. Richard is most definitely the most pumped to get on the court each and every single day.
" I believe we have a very hard working team and players who will do what they are told by coaches. The team shows a lot of hustle and effort every game, and that is the first step to being a very good team. Our team is a defensive minded squad and the key to winning Basketball games is always defence. I believe we have a chance to repeat our success from last year and possibly even improve on it. Last season we hosted regionals and then went to sectionals where we lost to Harvey, the three time defending champs. Last season proved that our teams hard work has been paying off and that we can compete with the South side of the province which has always been considered the much stronger side in Basketball. I am excited to see what the remainder of this season has in store for us." said Daniel Richard.
