Coach’s Comments: “We have 26 players in grades 9-12 in the program, only 2 seniors, and 4 juniors with one junior hurt and won’t return until February. Alec Loveridge and Jonathan Walter return as starters and all other spots are up for grabs. It has been very competitive in practice as we have guys fighting for positions. We are not very tall so we will have to use our quickness on defense and all 5 guys on the floor will have to rebound. We need to have ball movement on the offensive side and sharing the ball and making the extra pass will be keys. For us to be better, we need to focus on defense, rebounding, and cutting down on turnovers.
