Overall Thoughts on Season
Had a solid season, especially in July and had success playing team basketball. Each player single handedly won us a game at some point. Our guys showed improvement throughout and caught the eyes of several college coaches and key evaluators. All are primed for strong/breakout junior seasons with their school teams.
Standout Performers
Dashon Enoch – Our team’s best player had a quality spring and summer, and received his first Division I offer. He shot the ball well throughout, and continued to show his toughness and defensive tenacity.
Charlie Hoehne – When he played well, so did our team. Showed ability to play in the open floor – running or pushing the ball himself – and also to play from the perimeter driving the ball to the basket.
Chase Robinson – Consistent performer for our team, especially on the defensive end. Also had some key offensive performances and clutch shots.

Overall Thoughts on Season
Our team made progress throughout each practice and game, especially in the month of July. All in all, there were more positives than negatives this spring/summer, so I’m very proud of the progress the team made.
Standout Performers
Mike Osborne – The leader of our team. As he went, so did the team. Controlled the pace of the game and enjoyed making his teammates better.
Paul Zilinskas – He really flourished this summer playing with us. His scoring ability kept us in a lot of games and his timely shooting was clutch in some of our tougher games.
