RIGHT NOW I LIKE …

Our returners have provided tremendous leadership for all of our young players. Our best players have been our hardest workers. Our overall depth, once we gain some experience, is going to be a real strength.

RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE …

Yes! We are going to play several newcomers in our rotation and they are going to need to grow up in a hurry.

LEAGUE FAVORITE

Ohio Northern

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM …

We graduated 4 starters, who were all key players for us, both on the court, and in a leadership capacity. They will be very difficult to replace. But I really like the potential of this team. We have more experience than you would think and our incoming group is definitely going to help this team more and more as the season progresses.
