Upper Dublin Boys' Basketball Preview

UPPER DUBLIN BOYS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Head Coach: Josh Adelman (Entering 8th Year)

Assistant Coaches:  Josh Meyer, Brandon Gregg

Last Year’s Record:  5-7 SOL, 13-10 Overall, Lost in First round of District Playoffs.

Key Losses:  John Decamara (First Team All-League), Andrew Derr (Third Team All-League), Jared Zarwin, Blair Weiss, Darrell Harrison, and Collin O’Donnell

Key Returnees:  Andrew Carber (Sr.), Kevin Woods (Jr.),

Players to Watch: Malcolm Berry (Sr.), Morey Hershgordon (Sr.), Marc Conran (Jr.), John Derr (Jr.), Curt Goff (Jr.), Zach Greenberg (Jr.), Montez Martin (Jr.), Simeon Fryer (Fr.)

 Strengths:  We have a very hard working team that improves on a daily basis.  We have some very athletic kids that love to compete.   Having Andrew Carber back for a third season will provide a level of leadership for the squad.                   

Weakness: We are lacking a lot of players with Varsity experience.  We are a young team.

Question Marks: How long will it take for the players to learn their roles and gel as a team?  How will we handle a tough early schedule?  Can the guys replace the starters lost from the previous season that had an abundance of Varsity experience.   

Outlook:  “The Suburban One American Conference is definitely one of the best divisions around the area if not the State.  Every team is well coached and every game is a battle.  Teams from this conference are constantly being selected to enter districts and advancing to States.  It is impressive.   Our goal every season is to strive to compete at a high level with the quality teams in our division and the other conferences. Hopefully, we will surprise some people this season.”

Games to Watch:  UD @ Wiss – 12/14
Cardinal Classic -12/27 & 12/28
