Concerns: Defense, Rebounding, and experience

To Be Successful: Team Chemistry, Limit Turnovers, Limit Opponents to one shot per possession, solid defense, and consistent foul shooting – there are many players battling for varsity minutes.  We are looking for players to step up and prove they belong on the varsity level.  We play a very tough schedule again this year.
