By Cooper Chadwick

After an unfavorable finish to last year’s season, senior Carson Vineyard is putting in tons of work this offseason to help lead his team to success.

As a point guard for Argonia, Vineyard has to control a lot of the game and a lot of the possessions, he is also team captain for the Raiders.

This season Argonia has hired a new head coach and Vineyard is excited.

“I am mostly excited about playing for our new coach this year and getting to learn new techniques off of his coaching style,” Vineyard said.

During the offseason Vineyard spent a lot of his time in the gym getting stronger and also getting shots up.

“One thing I am wanting to improve this season is getting my shot perfected, so I can be a consistent shooter,” Vineyard said. “I worked on my shooting a lot this season by playing in basketball games and going to some open gyms to work on it.

Due to how last season ended, Vineyard has upped his motivation so he can have a stellar senior year.

Vineyard also has some goals for this season and has high hopes he and his team can achieve them.

“My individual goal for this season is to make 80% of my free throws. A team goal I have this season is to get better every day and not give up,” Vineyard said.
