We will be undersized against a lot of the teams we play so defense and rebounding will be key for us. On offense, we will need to share the ball, limit turnovers, and have great shot selection. The Black Hills Conference will be very competitive this year and we have quite a few AA games on our schedule, so we will need to be ready to play every night.</em>"</p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Key Returners</strong></span></h4> <p dir="ltr"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1273982" first="Connor" last="Sauvage"] (2022) |6-0 G|</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Dylan Schelske (2022) |6-5 G|</strong></p> <h4 dir="ltr"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Key Newcomers</span></strong></h4> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Sawyer Brose (2022) |6-2 G|</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Austin Campbell (2022) |6-0 G|</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Wyatt Pettyjohn (2022) |6-3 F|</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Tucker Paris (2023) |6-6 C|</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Jesse Hand (2023) |6-4 G|</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Landon Cast (2023) |6-2 F|</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Andrew Divis (2023) |6-1 G|</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Aven Stafford (2024) |6-3 G|</strong></p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Patriot Schedule</strong></span></h4> <p>December 11 @ <strong>Rapid City Christian.
