Defeating the Station Square Shiners and breaking two school records starts up the new season for The Mobius High Saints Boys Basketball team.

In a heated game against the Station Square Shiners, the Mobius High Saints managed to pull a comeback win of 41-19. Point guard and senior Sonic the Hedgehog said "We were falling behind the first half, but Coach Chuck gave an amazing speech that got us all pumped to get the win."

"Coach Chuck has captivating speeches," said junior Silver the Hedgehog, "unlike most coaches, he gets kind hearted and determined when we are losing, not angry and furious. I think his calmness and composure is what encourages us to win."

The team made an array of shots after the half with even a slam dunk by senior Knuckles the Echidna. "I had no idea I could jump so high!" said Knuckles, "I felt like I was weightlessly flying in the air. I hope I can make another slam dunk soon."

Senior Storm the Albatross broke the school record for most assists in a single game. "I am not the best shooter," said Storm, "but I can pass over all the shorter opponent players." With a whopping 6' 6" in his height, Storm is also the tallest player to be on the Saints since 1991.

Coach Chuck the Hedgehog said that he is "aiming for excellence and sportsmanship" this season. The tragic lost last year at districts still stomps on the team's spirits. Coach Chuck said he is working to improve the team morale through motivation and teamwork. "A loss is a loss," said Coach Chuck, "while winning districts would be ideal, as long as my team stays happy, I am happy."
