Overview:

With their top two leading scorers back for one final season of prep basketball,
Nevada appears to have the pieces to improve on their finish from last season.
At only 11-12, the Cubs played a lot of teams tough but were unable to
consistently finish down the stretch. But with Tyson Hansaker and Austin
Brasche back, this duo will be motivated to help to add to the win column.
Last season, these two averaged nearly thirty points per game. And unless
some players around them step up, they will need to become even bigger scorers.
Handsaker is one of the best players in the state and is very versatile both
inside and outside. Look for him to have an All State season.
