Central Bucks East Boys' Basketball Preview

CENTRAL BUCKS EAST BOYS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

 

Head Coach:  Erik Henrysen, 6th year

 

Assistant coaches:  Brian Yannarella, Jimmy Katasak, Jon McArdle, Anthony Magallanes, and Joe Laphen

 

Last year’s record:  6-16 overall; (1-13 SOL Continental)

 

Notable losses:  Travis Ives (Honorable Mention All-League), Jeff Circuit

 

Key returners:  Tommy Strasburger (12/Guard/Co-Captain, 3rd Team All-League), lake Peterson (12/Center), Justin O’Neil (12/Forward), Matt Pattyson 11/Guard/Co-captain)

 

Others to watch:  Tiemo Fenner (12/Forward), Elijah Seger (11/Guard), Chris Reilly (12/Forward),

Sean Dann (11/Forward)

 

Strengths:  Blake Peterson and Tommy Strasburger (Lafayette/Football) provide an inside-outside presence.  Strasburger is a do-it-all guard that can play any position and is anxious to return from last season’s injury-plagued year.  Peterson, also looking to complete his first full injury-free season, is on pace to break the school record for blocks this year. 

 

Question Marks: Last year’s injury riddled 6-16 season never saw a full strength CB East team.  Eighteen of the programs 24 players missed time due to injury.  Can CB East shed the memory of last year and return to districts. 

 

Outlook:  As long a health is not as big of an issue this year, CB East is looking for significant improvement from last year.
