Key Returning Players:
Exavior Prado- Senior (6’1″ G), 12.7 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 3.3 APG- He has the ability to be the league MVP if he pushes himself hard on both ends. He has a great first step and can get to the basket fairly easily.
Hunter McShane- Senior (5’11” G), 12.1 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 2.4 APG- He has the ability to be first team all-league. When he gets hot, he doesn’t miss. He also does a great job of controlling our tempo.
Michael Bucher- Senior (6’6″ C), 4.5 PPG, 6.0 RPG- He has been the most improved on our team over the last 3 years. He could be one of the best big men in our league. He has a solid shot & is good around the rim. He is also an excellent shot blocker.
Jeremiah Singer- Senior (6’2″ F), 9.8 PPG, 2.1 RPG- He is an excellent shooter when he gets hot. He will need to step up this year for us to go on a run.
