Rebounding.

TEAM TO BEAT IN YOUR LEAGUE AND WHY

Wilmington. They historically have great basketball teams, that are well disciplined and talented. They have two solid players in Mansfield and Beaugard returning this year that will make them a great team.

Our chemistry. Even with our experience, all of our players will be in new roles this year and playing for a new coach in a new system. Our ability to embrace those roles and play good, team basketball will determine our success this year.

TEAM TO BEAT IN YOUR LEAGUE AND WHY

Wilmington. They have had great success for a long time now and return a lot of players from a very good team last year.

We have excellent quickness and I believe our guard play will be strong. We are smaller then we have been in the past but the ability of our big men to run the floor will be a plus for us this year. We have good depth and our players have shown a tremendous ability to compete so far in the preseason

RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE …

Rebounding and taking care of the basketball.

TEAM TO BEAT IN YOUR LEAGUE AND WHY

Wilmington, the tradition of excellence that they have created and the success they have had in the last several years.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM, SEASON

We have the ability to surprise some people, our kids compete hard and are looking forward to the season.
