<p>Coral Springs High struggled to a sub-.500 season in coach <strong>Jarrett Williams</strong>' first year at the helm in 2018-19.</p> <p>The Colts appear to have re-tooled -- just how much we will have to wait and see -- judging by their 2-2 mark at the Florida High School Team Camp at the DS Sportsplex in Deerfield Beach. Their high-water mark was playing highly-touted West Oaks Academy to a 30-28 first half before eventually falling.</p> <p>"T<span style="font-weight: 400;">hey battled," Williams said of his club. "Obviously West Oaks is a tough team -- it’s a prep school. They’re good. Those guys are confident. Those guys, they attack. I felt like our guys stepped up to the challenge. They battled. We just had some key turnovers. Our group is kind of just getting together now."</span></p> <p>This is a new group. That is because several transfers are leading Coral Springs' resurgence:</p> <p>6-5 2020 <strong>Jordan Smith </strong>(pictured), who came over from Piper;</p> <p>6-4 2020 <strong>Greg Gordon</strong>, a transfer from Niles North in Illinois;</p> <p>6-6 2020 <strong>Matthew Dolce</strong>, from Taravella High.</p> <p>Smith's quickness gave West Oaks problems. He is athletic, shifty and had several exceptional no-look passes. <span style="font-weight: 400;">"We’re coming together pretty strong," Smith said. "We’re a new team. We’re building right now, trying to get better over the summer so in the season we can win states."</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"He definitely sees the floor," added coach Williams. "He’s scrappy. He’s a dog … he plays hard the whole game. Good kid. He’s got a good attitude. I think he’s going to be a big addition to our team."</span></p> <p>Gordon has been Coral Springs' <span style="font-weight: 400;">best player all summer. He excels in transition, is Springs' second-best passer and cleans up a lot of the mistakes.</span></p> <p>Dolce brings versatility and spreads the floor. He has the length to play inside but can step out and hit jump shots.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">6-4 rising senior <strong>Kerns Monvilus</strong> returns for the Colts. He had been plugged in at power forward the past few years but Williams said, "</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">This year we’ve kind of given him more guard responsibilities and that’s totally opened up his whole game. So, he is new as a guard but he is improving very fast and I feel like that's for the next level going to be his position."</span></p> <p><em>If you have high school or travel basketball news, you can reach Pat Lammer via Twitter at @PLamRecruiting or through e-mail at PatALammer@Gmail.com</em></p>
