Question marks: “We are missing several members of our team based upon the football team having such a successful playoff run. How quickly the players can get re-acclimated to basketball will be a challenge.”
Strengths: “We have lots of depth on our team, so the players are up to the task of not having some of their teammates present at the beginning of the season. The players are a tight-knit bunch of guys that enjoy playing together.”
Outlook for the season: “We are returning a very solid core of players with lots of Varsity experience. We also have a talented group of underclassmenbeing added to the mix. The team has a great chemistry and work ethic. How we handle the challenge of re-acclimating our Football players into Basketball mode at the beginning of the season will say a lot about our depth. If the team plays together, continues to work hard in practice, and takes a one game at a time approach, we should be a very competitive team to watch this season.”
