Outlook:  “Our goal for this year is to get over the hump. Every year we have come close to being where we want to be. Two years ago it was a loss to Pennsbury at Truman at the buzzer, last year it was a heart breaking loss to Bensalem by two. This year we’re aiming for the playoffs and getting over our past struggles. We need to beat tough opponents and be consistent throughout. This year’s team is resilient. They work hard and are hungry to win games. Merdic Green and Daiquan Ashley should be key components to our success. Mike Mintah and Dan Harris should also help with rebounding and scoring.”
