IRVING — The Taylor Duck boys basketball team is using the summer to prepare for next season and learning to grow together as a unit.
The Ducks competed in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches boys showcase June 21-23. The Ducks went 0-3 versus heavier competition, playing Brock, Dumas and Fort Worth Christian. Despite not winning a game, Taylor Head Coach Stephen Gibson still believes that his team gained a lot from the experience.
“They were able to see intense competition. They were able to be in an environment where college scouts were walking all over the place,” Gibson said. “Putting them on this stage, letting them get a feel of what it’s like when the regular season comes rolling around and I start speaking a different language, now they can relate to it.”
