It took until the final game of the season, but the North Star Wolves senior boys basketball team got its first win.
The Wolves finished the 2024-25 WECSSAA Tier 2 season with a 1-8 record after defeating the Windsor Islamic Jaguars 81-32 last Tuesday night in Amherstburg. The Jaguars finished the season 0-9.
Despite a regular season that they had higher hopes for, the Wolves were still happy to get the victory last week.
“We got our first win tonight,” said Wolves head coach Griffin Muzzin. “We ended the season with a victory.”Muzzin said it wasn’t the season they envisioned, adding they lost five games by close margins and if they would have won some of those games, it would have been a different type of season for the Wolves.
“Scoring 80 points is huge,” he added.
North Star had difficulty scoring points at points during the season so getting a large number of times versus the Jaguars was nice to see. Muzzin said luck sometimes didn’t go their way this year and if more shots fell, it could have turned their season around.
“You can’t win games if you don’t make your shots,” he said.
The Wolves had ten seniors this season out of its 12 total players.
“It’ll be a whole new group and a whole new season next year,” said Muzzin.
Muzzin, as well as many of the players, now move on to soccer and that will be the final sport the senior players will play as North Star Wolves. Of the 12 players on the basketball team, nine will be moving into boys soccer later in the spring.
