Today head coach <strong>Mike Warren</strong>, and associate head coach <strong>Mike Bibby</strong> find themselves with a loaded team, filled with players like <strong>Michael Bibby Jr</strong>, & <strong>JJ Rhymes </strong>who already won a state championship before with Shadow. Looking ahead to the 2015-16 season the Matadors are looking to yet another state title. Since their first state title as a class the team has added talented players like <strong>Bryce Fisher </strong>and 6&#39;8 <strong>Isaiah Jones</strong>.</p><p>Jones transferred prior to the 2014-15 season from Dallas, Texas. Jones is also a football star at Shadow Mountain and has heard from programs like <strong>Arizona, </strong>& <strong>Boise State</strong>.
