Quakertown Boys' Basketball Preview

QUAKERTOWN BOYS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Coach:  Tony DaCosta (4^thyear at Quakertown / 18 years overall)

Assistant coaches:  Colin McIntyre, Brett Wolf and David Forscht

Last year’s record:  SOL - 5 & 11, Overall – 8 & 14

Notable loss: Ty Wilkin - Forward

Key returners:  Sam Wilkin – 11^th/PG, Kyle Rosenberger – 12^th/SG, Miles Longacre – 12^th/SF, Anthony Callan – 12^th/F, Ethan Tomlinson – 12^th/C

Others to watch: Tanner Clancy – 12^th/ SG, Jameson Sykes – 10^th/PF-C, Trae McCray – 9^th/PG, RJ Ficco – 11^th/SF

Strengths/Question Marks: “Our calling card has always been on the defensive end of the floor, but we need to improve our pace and get out in transition more frequently. Statistically, we have already seen the benefits in our wins from summer leagues and showcase events.”

Outlook: “With a senior-laden team, expectations are much higher along with the standards the team has set.  This group has been through the rigors of the SOL.  We return our leading scorer in Miles Longacre, who averaged 16.6 last season, but we also return our backcourt of Sam and Kyle with our frontcourt of Anthony and Ethan so the time to put it all together is right now!”
