Coach’s comments: “We’re excited about the new season. We have some good players that we can build with, but we will have to be patient early. We’ve always relied upon skill development. We just want to get better each day and each game. We want to keep growing and improving the best that we can.
“Part of the challenge of playing here is going against great Marion County and Conference Indiana teams; we are challenged by that and we embrace it. Our key guys must be consistent performers every night; they can’t take a night off. We have enough pieces to be competitive over time.”
