David Sanford Announced His Resignation And Departure From Springfield Wildcats Today…

The Springfield High School boys basketball program has established itself as a Division I powerhouse in recent years.

The Wildcats have won at least 18 games each of the last five seasons and have advanced to the D-I regionals three times in the last four years.

The next goal? Breaking through to the state tournament.

We’re trying to continue the success and take it a step above,” said Wildcats coach Isaiah Carson.

The Wildcats return seven players from a squad that went 21-5 last season before falling to eventual state champion Moeller in the regional semifinals. The key is having “laser sharp focus,” Carson said.

“A lot of those tough games, especially in the regionals, they come down to possessions,” he said. “Almost every possession counts. If we can just think laser sharp focus, stay the course and be consistent, I think we’ll be just fine.”
