HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) – Woodville High School’s basketball team remains in tournament limbo as players await a court ruling that will determine their postseason opponents.
The team held practice Tuesday afternoon, going over their game plan and walking through drills while uncertainty surrounds their tournament fate.
Head coach Rob Murphy said the team had a pizza party after their game was cancelled Monday night but returned to business as usual for practice.
Murphy said his team has taken the news in stride and handled the uncertainty like adults. He said they are trying to stay positive, unselfish and relentless.
“It’s a huge opportunity for us,” Murphy said. “Woodville hasn’t won an area championship since 1995, and we believe in ourselves and our ability to get that done and we’re excited to take the floor. Anytime, anywhere, any opponent lets go we’re ready to play.”
Without a decision from the Court of Civil Appeals, Woodville remains in tournament limbo along with their opponents. Murphy said he’s confident after the support they have received from the school.
“It’s going to be an interesting time, it already has been, in terms of how this post season plays out but, the amount of support from the staff, the families, the teachers at this school you know even just this week hearing just additional support, and help, and encouragement,” Murphy said. “It’s a really special environment here.”
Time is running out for the game to be played as sub-regional rounds start Friday.
