Talent alone does not always equal success for
a sports program. One need look no further

than the 2008 Dallas Cowboys for proof of that statement. The \u2018Boys had talent in abundance and some had them pegged for a Super Bowl this season, but they didn\u2019t even make the playoffs. Fans and detractors alike can point to many reasons as to why they weren\u2019t able to unite for a memorable year.

On the local level, one team that doesn\u2019t have to worry about team unity is the West Morris Central High School boy\u2019s basketball squad. Wayne Shapiro has his players believing in the system and the results have been positive.

Leadership on the court is important for any team and WMC is no different, in fact they have several players with that attribute.

\u201cOur offensive leaders are Brett Bononno and Jared Washkau,\u2019\u2019 Shapiro said. \u201cBecause they score a lot of points, I believe that their teammates look to them for inspiration. Matt Wehrhahn is our \u2018rah-rah\u2019 leader and he has taken on the role of making sure his teammates are motivated and focused.

An added advantage for West Morris this winter is the improvement shown by athletes from the start of practice to this point in the season.
