<p>Team notes from coach <strong><em>Mike Hanson</em></strong>:</p>
<p><em>“We return five players from last year’s team who finished just under .500. With many coach’s kids on the team, I expect these undersized guys to use their high basketball IQ to compete at a high level. Offensively, we will be able to spread the floor with multiple shooters which will create opportunities for our big guys to make plays one-on-one. The guys know how to play good team defense to defend the great athletes we will be going against. We look forward to a fun season coaching this group of competitive guys.”</em></p>
