Here & There Column 2-12-13



 Bears JV Team Looking Good

  The media covering sports never pays much attention to what the players and coaches are doing on the Junior Varsity level.
  But most Varsity coaches are keeping a close look to see what future players will be moving up to enhance the school's varsity level of play next season. 
  We enjoy watching Freshman and Sophomores mature and especially like seeing experienced and talented coaches teach what it takes to win and move on to Varsity competition.
  Of all the Junior Varsity boys basketball teams we have seen playing this 2012-2013 season one team and one coach has demonstrated excellence in doing the right things to climb to the top of the ladder of success.
  The Tri-Valley Junior Varsity boys basketball team as of this writing has produced 12 straight victories and so far an undefeated season with wins and many of them decisive wins  over Unatego and O'Neill in the Walton and O'Neill tournaments and league and non-league victories over Chester, Fallsburg, S.S. Seward, Sullivan West and Livingston Manor. 
  We've witnessed a lot of coaching in our many years of covering sports and the Bears boys JV coach Jason Closs ranks high on our list as one of the best with knowledge of the sport and the ability to teach young ballplayers how to excel on the court. Coach Closs is also a PE teacher at the school and coaches the boys varsity soccer team and the varsity golf team
  Members of the present Tri-Valley Junior Varsity team include Thomas Decker, Nicholas Grossman, Jarred James, Joe Krum, Dion Lynch, Chris Mosher, Thomas Mungeer, Zach Nilsen, Jordan Prince, Shane Rennison, Justin Swarthout, Brandon Worden and Robert Worden. 
  We tip our hat to both the team and coach Closs for producing the great season they are having.
