Final Comments:
As we enter the 2024-25 basketball season, we are looking to find our footing in the IVC South, which one of the most competitive basketball conferences in the entire state. While we bring back two starters from last year, we will be replacing a lot of minutes and overall production from a very accomplished 2024 senior class. Our overall depth should be a major strength for us this year, but lack of valuable game experience will be a weakness early on. We will play a fast paced and up-tempo style of basketball. Our goal is to be playing our best basketball towards the end of the season, so we are in a position to make a deep tournament run.
