BERLIN — First year Berlin boys basketball coach Jesse Arsenault said the anthem of this season for his team is “Building men as the number one goal and winning games as number two.”

Arsenault said his team has embraced a new culture of early morning intense training that includes olympic style lifting, resistance training and explosive plyometric training exercises designed for quick explosive movements, similar to some of the skills needed on the basketball court.
