ANTICIPATED TEAM STRENGHTS
Experience, talent, team depth, lots of height.

ANTICIPATED TEAM CHALLENGES
Gain more game experience in a normal season, when COVID is less of a concern and teams don’t have to play three games per week due to a shortened schedule.

TEAMS TO BEAT IN THE CONFERENCE
Coach Guy thinks the O-K Green could be very tough this year, with a number of schools fielding competitive teams. There are a lot of unknowns due to the presence of a lot of new coaches and players, he said.

FIRST GAME
Dec. 14 at home against Kalamazoo Central.

COACH QUOTE
“I am looking forward to coaching these guys. They are a great group of young men. They are better young men than they are basketball players, and they are good basketball players. They come to practice every day trying to get better, and they could be setting themselves up for a special season.” – Keith Guy [3]
