BOYS
Coach: Jon Grimes
Top returners: Antonio Dupree, 6-2, Jr., F; Christian Crockett, 5-9, Jr., G; Trevor Thomas, 5-10, Jr., G.
Top newcomers: Justice Hayes, 6-0, Jr., F; Daunte Gardner, 6-1, Jr., F; Jason Porter, 6-1. Jr., F; MyQuon Woodley, 6-2, Sr., C; Daniel Winningham, 6-1, Jr., F.
Coach’s comment: “Our success this season will largely depend on our ability to defend and rebound. We do not have a lot of size up front, but we have a strong backcourt with two solid guards with a lot of varsity experience. I think bench play will also be a strength for us as we will look to extend our defense more and play more uptempo.’’
