Archbishop Hoban High School
Head coach Pam Davis is back along with her sidekick Willie Davis with a bunch of returning players. Last year, Hoban lost to the second-best team in the state and came off the summer success that they’ve had. I see them avenging everything they left this year. They have a post presence, perimeter shooters, and more experienced ball handlers. Losing came down to turnovers and shots not falling. A key returner
