The team:

“We lost some key starters off last year’s team.

“Zane Chapman started all last year and is a returner.

“Jacob Ramirez and Calvin Thacker were the first guys off the bench for guards and return.

“Nick Pease is our big strong post that proved he could score inside last year.

“We will push the tempo and pass inside to Pease in the half-court.

“The really great thing about this team is it has a bunch of seniors that have been playing together for a long time and play hard all of the time. It doesn’t matter if they are up 20 points or down 20, they play all-out, all of the time. I can really appreciate that as a coach and I am looking forward to the season. It is going to be fun.”
