Bertemes on Trojans: Experience will help
Southeastern looks like the favorite in the Ohio Heritage Conference boys basketball race. The season is young, but the Trojans are 2-0 after Friday’s 78-62 victory over Mechanicsburg. Read what Trojans coach P.J. Bertemes has to say on the jump:
Southeastern head coach P.J. Bertemes:
“This is the same group basically we had, and now we see pressure and we see traps, and kids that are a year older handle them differently. I think that’s certainly going to help us and bode well for us this year.
“We’ve got seven or eight kids who can really score. You certainly can’t approach us and say you’re going to take one guy or two guys away and say you’re going to have a better chance of winning. From an offensive standpoint, we’ve got a bunch of different kids who can do it in different ways.”

As an observer from the outside looking in, it appears PJ has a program the players understand and can execute. The team is very deep in talent and the coaching staff does a wonderful job of utilizing most of the players on the roster. Coach Bertemes is letting the individual players contribute by exploiting their strong points instead of forcing them to play a style they can’t handle. Last season was a learning year for a young team that’s starting to gel. It appears PJ has found the credibility with the team that’s needed to be successful and I hope this will bring Southeastern many wins in the future. I want to applaud the coaching staff for seeing that some players need to play a different format to get the most performance value out of the team instead of a “it’s my way or the highway” mentality that limits a team’s potential. This season can be an exciting one for Southeastern fans and players. Good luck to the Trojans this season.
