Jewett—Tri-Valley's dynamic junior guard—is the centerpiece of the roster.

Jewett isn't alone, though. Tri-Valley brings back a seasoned group of varsity contributors, each bringing experience and competitive edge to the floor (see player comments below).   With the new coaching staff setting the tone and a hungry group of veterans ready to take on larger roles, optimism is rising in Mustang country.

With a blend of scoring, versatility, athleticism, and leadership, this year's Mustang roster features a core of players poised to make a significant jump.   [player_tooltip player_id='2277844' first='Brady' last='Jewett'] (6'2" – G – JR) Jewett enters the season as Tri-Valley's leading returning scorer and one of the most dynamic offensive threats on the roster. A true combo guard, he can hurt defenses at all three levels and gives the Mustangs a reliable bucket-getter in crunch time. As he steps into a larger leadership role, expect Brady to be the engine that keeps the Mustang offense humming.   [player_tooltip player_id='3067361' first='Ty' last='Oyen'] (6'3" – F – SR) The senior forward returns as the team's top rebounder and assist man, showcasing just how much he impacts the game in multiple ways. Oyen's physicality allows him to play anywhere on the floor, and his versatility makes him a matchup problem for opponents. With an expanded leadership role ahead, Ty is the tone-setter—the one who brings urgency, energy, and accountability to the Mustang lineup.   Mason Hemme (5'10" – G – SR) Hemme is a quick, steady guard capable of dictating pace and keeping the Mustangs in control of the tempo. As a senior, he has the chance to take on a much greater role on both ends, using his speed and decision-making to stabilize the offense and pressure opposing ball-handlers. Mason's growth could be one of the quiet keys to Tri-Valley's success.   [player_tooltip player_id='2862517' first='Kobe' last='Krome'] (6'1" – G/F – JR) An athletic wing who affects the game on both ends, Krome is primed for a breakout season. His ability to guard multiple positions, attack the rim, and make plays in transition gives Tri-Valley flexibility on the perimeter. With a bigger role ahead, Kobe's all-around skill set should shine.   [player_tooltip player_id='2338066' first='Tristen' last='Bunde'] (6'2" – G/F – SR) Another strong two-way presence, Bunde brings size, athleticism, and experience to the Mustang rotation. Whether defending bigger wings, crashing the glass, or contributing offensively, he provides reliable two-way production. As a senior, his impact and consistency will be vital.   With this returning group, Tri-Valley boasts a core that knows what varsity basketball demands—and one that's ready to push the Mustangs to new heights.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/QA.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/QA.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-2508303" style="width:271px;height:auto" /></a></figure>   With Coach Green   PHD: Does your program/team have any non-negotiables?
