One by one, the Sequatchie County boys’ basketball players have bought in.
After a recent victory over Notre Dame in which he finished with 22 points and 19 rebounds, senior post Kegan Frederick said, “I had a good game tonight, but I could have had no points and not cared as long as we got the win.”
This past Tuesday, after a defeat of Chattanooga Christian, guard Daniel Cartwright noted that “I just want to do anything to help the team win. I don’t care if I have no points and 15 assists, or 30 points.”
The focus for the Dunlap team is quite simple: The Indians want to go deeper into the postseason than they’ve been in quite some time, definitely deeper than in any of their high school careers. No matter what it takes to take there, which could equal more or less than any player is accustomed to doing.
The Indians are 17-2, 5-0 in District 7-AA. The undefeated mark halfway through the district slate is the best in “a long time,” according to coach Jason Smith, as is the record through 19 games.
