PENNSBURY BOYS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW
Coach: Wes Emme, 2nd year at Pennsbury
Assistant coaches: Jermaine Major (JV Coach), Kurt Bergmann, Jon Love, Lou Cognigni (Strength and Conditioning), Nick Ruggieri (Freshmen), Mike Higgins (Director of Operations)
Last year’s record: 16-8 Overall (12-4 SOL Patriot). SOL Patriot Division Champions
Notable losses: Ty Kocak (First Team SOL Patriot) playing basketball at Juniata College. Ryan Zuckerman (Second Team SOL Patriot) playing baseball at the University of Pittsburgh
Key returners: Sr. Guard Teddy Mangan (Honorable Mention SOL Patriot), Sr. Forward Connor Taddei (Second Team SOL Patriot), Jr. Guard Mike Roccograndi, Sr. Guard Danny Cohen
Others to watch: Sr. Guard Sam Callahan, Sr. Forward Eric David, Sr. Forward Simon Dlugi, Jr. Guard Grayson Gozum
Strengths: Experience will be a strength as three starters and several more rotation players return. Mangan and Taddei are three-year varsity players who will be looked to in a leadership role. Roccograndi started every game and Cohen was the sixth man all year.
Question marks: How we handle replacing Kocak and Zuckerman from a scoring, rebounding and leadership standpoint.
Outlook: “The goal is to defend the SOL Patriot title and qualify for the PIAA State Tournament.”
