LBCC Basketball class

-

This is the advanced basketball class here at LBCC. The class is every Monday and Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 PM. The athletes are doing a "2 man shooting drill," designed by Everett  Hartman the instructor for the class. How the drill works is, you have 2 lines, and one person from each line does the drill. The person in the middle line will pass the ball to the line that is on the left wing. After the person in the middle line will set a screen for the person on the wing then will roll to the basket. The person in the wing after using the screen set for them will pass the ball to the person that rolled to the basket. The person that rolled to the basket will finish with a layup, and the person that passed the ball will receive a pass from Everett Hartman, and they have the choice to shoot a 3 point shot, or mid range shot. 


Joehnis Joyce is the athlete in the red camo shorts, with no shirt on. He is a standout basketball player in the class. He attends LBCC and is majoring in zoology. He says " I want to help animals that are on the extinction list. My passion for zoology is unexplainable, I really just feel like I could make a difference." His plans for college were to tryout for the LBCC basketball team, however he is unsure on if he still wants to do that because he is thinking about transferring to another college to play football. Joyce and his team are playing a 5 on 5 scrimmage. First team to score 7 points wins, but the games are win by 2 or more points. Whoever wins stays on the court, and the losers have to steps off.



After having a solid performance from one of his scrimmage games, Joehnis Joyce turns around because one of the LBCC assistant coaches Ron Richards, calls his name out, and wants to talk to him.

Weston Basl; A Chip On His Shoulder

Photo courtesy of Weston Basl It’s just a regular Monday afternoon, and basketball class at LBCC just ended. About eight other students stay in the gym after the class has ended. An hour later, and the gym is empty. Another hour past … still, no one in the gym. No one, except for Weston Basl, as he constantly stays practicing, while nobody is there. Weston Basl, aka “West,” is a 18-year-old freshman LBCC student who is from Culver, Oregon. He is currently still undecided on what he wants to major in. West decided to go to LBCC because he wanted to experience the college life, and he is trying to play for the LBCC men’s basketball team next year. “I’m just practicing every day trying to get better. I haven't talked to the head coach at all, but I have talked to the assistant coach, coach Zimmermann. I actually had a training session with him in the summer, it was just him and I in the gym. Unfortunately I missed the tryout days, and didn’t make the team. I am upset with...
