Men's Basketball Welcomes Freshmen Class

Welcome to Buena Vista Basketball for the 2007-08 season.  It will be an excellent year for our program, as all of our players have returned, who did not graduate.  We also have some freshmen that we are excited about.  Since this is our first blog, we will talk about our 6 freshmen.  5 of the 6 newcomers played in their respective state tournaments last year, so they are used to being successful.
 

Sam Moser -- Omaha Westside H.S.   Sam is a tough competitor, and was the glue to help the team play well down the stretch and play in the Nebraska State Tournament.  Sam was the leading scorer on the team, and will be a solid off guard in the future.
 

Tyler Case -- Santa Rita H.S.  Sam is from Tuscon, AZ.  And we are excited to have this point guard in our program.  He has taken a chance to leave the comforts of home and be a part of our program.  He helped lead his team to the Championship game in Class 4A in Arizona.

 
Jalaal Madyun -- North Butler H.S.  Jalaal is a guard from a successful team last year in Eastern Iowa.  They may not have made the State Tournament, but they were ranked in Class 2A all year.  Jalaal is a big strong guard that can play different positions.
 

JP Baker -- Omaha Gross H.S.  JP's team did not play in the State Tournament, but JP had a solid year, and is a strong player on the wing.  He is also an excellent catcher, and will be playing baseball also. 

Austin Ferguson -- Sioux City Heelan.  Austin is a pt. guard who played on a team that lost in the Championship game of Class 3A last year.  Austin is strong and is a good team player. 

 
Mitch Petersen -- Harlan H.S.  Mitch was a back up post on Harlan' team last year.  Their team only lost to Heelan in the Semi Finals last year, and has been a part of one of the most successful programs in the state. 

 
Those are our freshmen, and we are excited about this year, and what could transpire with our team.

 
Go Cubs!!!

Go Beavers!!!
