<p>Devin Crummie's Dragons had a fantastic year last winter and bring back the bulk of their talent. They'll have a deep and talented backcourt full of college prospects. Junior guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1518798' first='Logan' last='Golle']</strong>, Senior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1436504' first='Ethan' last='Anish']</strong> and sophomore <strong>Jack Segall</strong> will see leadership roles, but the top player in the City League may be 6'5" forward <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='991387' first='Sam' last='Kelly']</strong>. He'll have frontcourt help from 6'4” bruiser <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1187923' first='Major' last='Rainey']</strong>, football QB <strong>Azerick Jetter</strong>, 6'6" <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1186477' first='Antwone' last='Ward-Thurman']</strong>, 6'3" junior <strong>Pavle Slepcev</strong> and others. This team is deep and is facing a tough schedule.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1186484' first='Xzavier' last='Rodgers']</strong>, a 6'2” senior, will have to do heavy lifting after the departure of [player_tooltip player_id='1188604' first='Dame' last='Givner'] to Imani Christian, but the Eagles could find themselves at the Pete if they get some help for him.</p>

<p>Keep and eye on <em>Carrick</em>, playing a difficult non-city slate--Could indicate something brewing there, and we'll check up on them as a unit before December is out. </p>

<p><em>Westinghouse </em>will get off to a slow start and the team will go based on how many football players decide to play hoops.</p>
