TEAM NOTES
“Coach Joe Chapman is excited to be bringing back a very experienced group, whose core have now been together for three seasons. The calling card for this team is their ability to constantly switch and play a wide variety of defenses at a tenacious level. CBA Gold Elite has 10 players who can really get after it on the defensive end of the floor whether it be on ball, off ball, or making the right defensive rotations to cause havoc for their opponents. Furthermore, Coach Chapman believes the unselfish nature combined with tremendous ball movement fits in perfectly as this team is full of deadly shooters. Joe is extremely excited to see this team earn the recognition as one of the top teams in the State of Wisconsin at the U 15 level.”
