In his first game as head coach of the Riverhead High School boys basketball program<\/a>, Patrick Fabian\u2019s Blue Waves emerged victorious last Tuesday afternoon in their season opener at home against Eastport-South Manor, 55-42. Though many of the pieces have stayed the same from last year\u2019s team<\/a>, there\u2019s a different feel this year \u2014 and it starts with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore teamwork,\u201d senior guard DeShawn Watkins said. \u201cMore discipline. More belief. We just have the mentality now that we need to work hard for the entire 32 minutes on the court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabian has stressed all offseason that success won\u2019t be measured by wins and losses. The culture has to change, and all the players have to buy in. Results will come if everyone trusts the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want the kids that play here to have a positive experience,\u201d Fabian said. \u201cWe want them to come together and really build a family-type atmosphere. When I played, everyone on the team was always together. We would work our butts off on the court and then we would go out to eat together. Win, lose or draw, it doesn\u2019t matter. At the end of the day, we\u2019re a family.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The ingredients for success are there. Even through the early going, this team doesn\u2019t look like last year\u2019s 3-16 squad. The offense has a different look \u2014 less one-on-one play and more crafted opportunities. The defensive intensity is also different, with more presses, more trapping and a lot more energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a firm believer that our defense will ignite our offense,\u201d Fabian said. \u201cWe\u2019re pressing from the opening minute. We want their offense to earn every single bucket they shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The offense runs through the hands of Anaais Mitchell. The sophomore point guard was named one of the captains this year because of his demeanor and work ethic throughout the offseason. His unselfish style truly lets the game come to him. He notched 11 assists but also scored eight points in key moments of the season opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just go with the flow of the offense,\u201d Mitchell said. \u201cThere\u2019s always people coming off a screen or doing a back-door cut. With so much action going on, it\u2019s really easy to see it all and find the open man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s incredible,\u201d Fabian said. \u201cHe sees everything out there. He knows where guys are supposed to be. He knows how to set things up. He\u2019s always in control. Aside from basketball, I couldn\u2019t be happier with the person he is. He gives you eye contact when you speak, he understands everything you\u2019re saying, and he\u2019s a polite and respectful kid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watkins and junior sharpshooter Peter Lagnena were on the receiving end of many of Mitchell\u2019s assists. Watkins scored a game-high 17 points and Lagnena posted 16 including four treys. Watkins\u2019 ability to get points from inside and Lagnena being dangerous from beyond the arc will be a great 1-2 punch this year. \u201cWhen we play as a team good things will happen,\u201d Lagnena said. \u201cNobody is bigger than the team here. We all want the same results, and we know how to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liam Lennon, who battled early foul trouble, will also be key to the team\u2019s success. He scored eight points in limited action last week, but when he reentered the game in the second half, that\u2019s when the Blue Waves really started pulling away. At 6-feet-6, Lennon impacts the game on both ends of the court. He corralled 10 rebounds, stole the ball three times and blocked four shots in the opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the biggest key to last week\u2019s win was Riverhead\u2019s ability to lock down one of the best shooters in the county: ESM\u2019s Brady McGowan, who averaged 16.4 points per game last year. Against the Blue Waves, he scored just two as wingers Jack Bartolo and Landon Zaleski kept McGowan uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuccess this season will be coming to the gym and giving it your all every time out on the court,\u201d Fabian said. \u201cIt\u2019s about getting 1 or 2 percent better every single day. A successful season this year will be about everybody putting their heart and soul into this team the entire year. We need to fight and compete every single game and just give ourselves a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
