BRUNSWICK, OH- - It’s that time of year again where the boys at Brunswick High School lace up their sneakers and hit the hardwood. The Brunswick Blue Devils will be taking their talents to New York Friday night to start the 2010-2011 basketball season at the Wilson’s Tip-Off Tournament. “I am most excited about New York, it going to be amazing,” said senior Zach Gresch when asked about the upcoming season. This will be a great test to start off the season because the Blue Devils will be facing some tough competition. “I am excited that another season is here and we get a chance to compete,” said Coach Mackey.

There are two factors to keep an eye out for at the start of the season; the role of the underclassman on the team and also how the opponents will match up against Pat Forsythe. The majority of the playing time will be dominated by underclassmen and their role will be “pretty big” according to Mackey. “We have never really relied on this many underclassmen before and how quickly they grow up will probably dictate how fast of a start we get out to in terms of the win column,” Mackey said. The obvious “big” factor of the season will be the performance of West Virginia recruit Pat Forsythe. The opponents know the talent Pat brings to the court and he will be the anchor on both sides of the ball.

The first home game of the season for Brunswick will be on December 14 against Mayfield. Make sure you save the date to check out the high explosive offense in action in front of the home crowd. This will be a season that you do not want to miss.
