Council Rock North Boys' Basketball Preview

COUNCIL ROCK NORTH BOYS’ BASKETBALL PREVIEW

 

Coach:  Jesse Krasna (4th year)

 

Assistant Coaches:  Rob Sikora, Kevin Gallagher, Andy Krasna, Chase Kumor, Mark Burton

 

Last Year’s Record: 14-9 (6-6 SOL, tied for 3rd)

 

Notable Losses: DJ Mischak, James Duffy, Josh Fisher, Zach Saifer, Beckett Thompson, Griffin Popescu

 

Key Returners:  Hunter Wan, Luke Vliet

 

Others to Watch:  Bernie Parent, Mikey Sylvester, Andrew Stewart, Connor Rushing, Austin Stalker, Dan Egan, Sean Mealey, Jack Blum, Sean Clancy, Logan Saifer

 

Strengths:  Backcourt play, toughness, stingy defense

 

Question Marks:  Size, experience, younger players adjusting to varsity speed/physicality

 

Outlook:  “This team will be tested right out of the gate, opening up the season against Christopher Dock (the defending BAL champs) on Dec 6 and league play against Pennsbury (defending SOL National champs) on Dec 12. Strong guard play from Vliet, Wan and Parent will be the catalyst for North this season. The league is very strong this year but improvement throughout the season could put CRN in a position to make some noise come February.”
