Bucks successful through first five games<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"The Deerfield Beach High boys’ basketball team began the 2022-2023 season with a record of 3-2.<\/a> They won their first two games, and Deerfield anticipates many more victories throughout the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This season, I hope to win states<\/a>,\u201d senior guard Jakwon Morris said. \u201cWe definitely have a shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday, November 28th<\/sup>, Deerfield kicked off the season with an away game against Cardinal Gibbons High School. With the Chiefs ranked as the fifth-best team in Broward County, the odds of the Bucks winning were slim. However, Deerfield Beach came out on top, winning 73-49 and catching almost everybody off guard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We’re putting the whole state on notice,” senior forward Jason Morris said. “We have a legitimate shot at going to and winning the state championship this year.”<\/p>\n

Another impressive win was against South Broward High School. The Bucks blew them out of the water with the final score of 81-42.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were in the locker room with everybody getting hyped,\u201d junior guard Jaironn Speights said. \u201cOur energy was all the way up from the jump.\u201d<\/p>\n

These wins can be awarded to constant hours of strenuous practicing<\/a>. Boyd Anderson was perhaps the most competitive team they have played in up to this point. It was a close game, but the Cobras got the best of the Bucks, winning 69-64.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe never give up,\u201d Speights said. \u201cThrough all the tough practices and losses, we never gave up, whether we win or lose.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, December 3rd<\/sup>, Deerfield faced off against Suncoast in the Kruel Classic. It was a back-and-forth game until the Chargers pulled away from the hard-fighting Bucks, finishing 62-54. Deerfield took a trip to Cooper City High School on Monday, December 5th<\/sup>. The Bucks left victorious, winning 70-56 over the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a great bounce buck<\/a> win for us,\u201d senior guard Joe Barksdale said. \u201cNow we\u2019re getting back in the lab and getting ready for the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bucks\u2019 next home game is on Friday, December 9th<\/sup>, at 7:30 pm, when they face off against Dillard High School. Show your Buck Pride and purchase tickets<\/a> online.<\/p>\n\n\n
