ANTICIPATED TEAM STRENGHTS

Experience will be a benefit for the Trojans as they bring back four seniors who are all three-year varsity players. They also should have a nice blend of athleticism and size this year.

ANTICIPATED TEAM CHALLENGES

The Trojans will have to find the right chemistry while trying to blend in experienced players with those that are inexperienced.

TEAMS TO BEAT IN THE CONFERENCE

Unity Christian has proven to be the top squad and will continue to be very solid despite graduating a lot.

FIRST GAME

December 6 home versus Fruitport Calvary

COACH QUOTE

“I think the O-K Blue is pretty open this year. A lot of teams had a lot of seniors last year and they’ll be a lot of unknowns to start the year. But really Unity has been at the top since this conference has been put together so we’re all fighting to catch them.”
