Team Notes from Coach Todd Neuendorf:
“We return 8 players from a team that finished up last season at 20-4. This group of kids has been playing together the past three seasons and seems to mesh really well together. We have a team that has quickness, size, and athleticism. We are able to push the ball and score in transition and have the ability to play in the half-court. The great thing about this team is its’ unselfishness. They share the ball so well and turn good shots into great shots for their teammates.”
