Team Strengths:

Quick in transition

Question Marks:

Post play, consistent outside shooting, and ability to score from several
positions in the half court game.

Overview:

With the recent success on the football field, it appears as if athletics at
Keokuk are on their way up. And if the Chiefs can find a way to replace
their two starters, don't be shocked if they get over the .500 mark this winter.
Leading the way for the team is senior Tyler Bradley. He is the only
player in his class with much varsity experience at Keokuk and is a great
athlete. Bradley will be the man on the team this year and has proven he
can score in a variety of ways. Also keep an eye on James Hurt and James
Vandenburg. Both have been lighting it up on the football field and can do
a lot of good things for the team. If the post play can step up and
someone can prove consistently that they can knock down the outside jumper, the
Keokuk basketball team could be enjoying success.
