Council Rock South Boys' Basketball Preview

COUNCIL ROCK SOUTH BOYS’ BASKETBALL

Coach: John Easterly - 6 years

Assistant coaches:  Bill Irvin, Adam Bowen, Bryce Bundy, Sean Irwin, Dick Rabberman

Last year's record:  6-16

Notable losses:  PJ Gallo, Nick Cocco, and Zach Fitzgerald.  PJ is playing football at Maryland

Key returners:
Christian Crane, 12, G
Eric Gallo, 11, F
Will Faccenda, 11, G

Others to watch:
Dan Kockott, 11, G
Tommy Townsend, 11, F

Strengths/Question Marks:  We are a young team and some of our inexperience may hurt us early.  However, our improvement through the course of the season is key.

Outlook:  Crane returns as our leading scorer from last season.  Faccenda got valuable experience leading the offense as our point guard as a sophomore. His leadership will be key this year. Eric Gallo was our starting center last year. He will need to be a force inside and anchor our zone defense. Dan Kockott will run our defensive sets and show his athleticism on the offensive end. Tommy Townsend will need to step up as a defensive rebounder and secondary scoring threat.
