Coaches Comments/Team Overview
Team Strengths this season : We are coming in this year with a very experienced team. We are returning 9 varsity players. We have good team quickness and will look to play an up-tempo game. We have strong guard play that will allow us to create opportunities to attack the basket and open up the perimeter for our strong shooters.
Team Weakness this season : We will need to rebound the ball well to control the pace of the game we want to play. We will need to play a full 32 minute game with more consistency.
One thing that we should know about your team: The 2018-2019 varsity team has the skills and varsity experience to have a successful season. We are returning 4 starters from last year’s team.
