Coach’s comments: “We couldn’t fill the empty basket and we couldn’t attack (defense) last year. The biggest plus this year is that we have competition in our practices, and that’s going to make us better. I have 12-13 kids competing every day. We will have games when we can go with our bigs or go with four or five guards in the lineup. Our juniors can shoot the ball. We have some sophomores that we are happy with. Our younger players will see playing time as we go. We have had good practices, and we have a lot to build on. This has been so much fun to watch these kids compete against each other. I feel really good about our effort and enthusiasm that I’ve seen in the gym so far.”
