It may not be easy to be on the road almost every weekend, but for basketball athletes playing at the next level, many of them had one thing in common: they all like to travel.
For eighth grader Taveon Dempsy, he enjoys going to new places. Dempsey has been on the Common Bond basketball team for the past two years. Also on the team are eighth graders Rhys McLeod, Brytn Mewton, Zach Azar and Francis Badalamente.
This winter begins a new round of competition. The boys practice at least twice a week at a location that is over 30 minutes away.
“It’s hard, but basketball means a lot to me,” Badalamente said. “I make sure to get good grades and do my best.”
The Common Bond team is sponsored by Under Armour.
“I like the fit,” Dempsey said.
This winter they will have 25-30 games to play in across Michigan and near by states.
