Team Strengths:

Depth and quickness

Question Marks:

Inexperience, perimeter game, and substitution rotation

Overview:

The Wolves may have only won three games last year but a lot of that had to do
with the amount of youth that was playing. Three of the four returning
starters were sophomores last season and it was not an easy transition for many
of them. Micah Carroll seemed to be the most productive as he averaged
eight points and five rebounds per game. This 6-foot-2 junior excelled
last year and should be better this time around. Also returning from that
starting lineup include Bronson Wixom, Bobby Sarver, and Jordan Vantiger.
All four returning starters will need to improve if the team wants to win more
games. There will be a lot of different players getting a chance at the
varsity level this year and it will be important for the team to find those who
can step up and play.
