William Tennent Boys' Basketball Preview

WILLIAM TENNENT BOYS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Coach:  Robert Mulville (12 years)

Assistant coaches:  Paul Veltre, Ray Horn, John Stanfield, Eric Reynolds, Mike Wasserleben

Last year’s record:  6-16 overall, 1-11 in SOL

Notable losses: Pat McCauley and Markeith Baxter

Key returners:  David West  Sr. G, Derrik Cosenza So. C/F, Michael Mulville Sr. G, Ben Satz Jr. G, Kip Mooney Sr. F, Alex Wadsworth Sr. G, Ryan Savage Sr. C.

Others to watch:  Josiah Johnson Jr. G, Del Matunda Sr. F, Daulton Zeaman Jr. G

Strengths/Question Marks:   “With seven returning players who logged meaningful varsity minutes, the Panthers will look to use that experience to get off to a fast start.  New opponents in a new division, as Tennent moves back into the National Conference, will create a challenge.”

Outlook:  “Tennent will look to use their experience to avoid those early season periods of inconsistency.  Hopefully, the experience will enable the team to develop chemistry immediately and get off to a fast start.  West, Cosenza, Muville, Satz, Mooney and Wadsworth all started games at some point in the 2018 season.  They will look to use that momentum to make a playoff run this year.”
