The Hanover boys basketball team is 8-4 on the season, but that success is not enough for Garrett Martin.
“I’m not even close to satisfied yet,” Martin said. “With half a season left yet there is plenty of time left to get better and be prepared for the postseason.”
The Wildcats are a veteran group that has spent a ton of time with each other. According to Martin, this is just reason why Hanover is one of the top teams in Class 1A Division II.
“I enjoy playing on this team so much because we play so well together as a team,” Martin said. “Getting a win on a Friday night under a home crowd always feels good, too. We have given a great effort night in and out playing well. After a few bumps in the road early it took a little adjusting then, but now we have got to playing so well as a team together seeing my goal of getting back to the state tournament is looking good.”
Hanover lost its first three games of the season, but has since won eight of nine games. Martin thinks that adversity will pay off in March.
“After playing tough teams in the start of the season a thought now is not losing another game the rest of the season,” Martin said. “Along with just having fun only getting to play with this group so many more times.”
