<p>The Mount Airy Granite Bears have a talented group returning for the upcoming season. They’ve got some talent returning from last year’s squad which should make them a competitive bunch. Here’s an early 2020-21 season preview.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1085596" first="Grant" last="Routh"] | 6’4 Guard/Wing | 2021</strong></p>
<p>Routh is this team's breakout candidate after posting 9.3 ppg and 4.2 rpg in 2019-20. He's a knockdown shooter off the catch and off the bounce that can </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1085520" first="Caden" last="Fitzgibbons"] | 6’2 Guard | 2022</strong></p>
