The Fond du Lac boys basketball team's season came to an end Tuesday night, and while the games won and lost probably weren't what interim coach Adam Zakos had in mind, this was far from a disappointing season.
Consider:
*Two starters missed significant time due to injury. Ben Anderson was injured from mid-December on, while Nelson Pickart missed the last six weeks of the season. Both could play in the post, and Pickart was Fondy's only player taller than 6-foot-4.
*In the 12 games after a 75-44 loss to Appleton West — its second of the season by 30 points or more — Fondy only lost two by double figures. Four of the eight losses were by four points or less.
*It beat Appleton West and Oshkosh North, the two teams that it previously lost to by 30 points.
Now, for a program that is used to winning conference championships and going to the state tournament, these aren't exactly things to celebrate.
But they are building blocks for what hopefully will be a long career for Zakos at Fondy.
