Chilton Christian Academy’s boys basketball team lost their legs during an appearance in the West Florida (Milton) Tournament over the weekend, but their were still some positives for the Patriots.
CCA (7-2) went 1-2 in the tournament, but coach Chris Jones said his team will benefit from the competition and has learned what it needs to work on to improve.
“Zone offense,” Jones said about what will be the main focus. “We need to move the ball better, quicker, and make more shots.
“Defensively, we’re a solid unit, but offensively we need to find a go-to guy that can make shots. But it’s still early in the year.”
The CCA shooters weren’t helped by their schedule leading up to the tournament.
Even before the bus ride of longer than three hours, the Patriots played a game on Nov. 17, and three players—Tim Harris, Matthew Klein and Austin Shropshire—participated in a 3.16-mile cross-country competition on the weekend of Nov. 14.
“We were just tired,” Jones said. “We got down there and won that first game, but then that was it.”
CCA defeated Northside (Louisville, Ky.) 45-33 but lost to Berean (Jacksonville, Fla.) 43-23 and host West Florida Baptist 61-55.
Junior forward Zach Brown scored 26 points in three games.
