Thanks for a Great Season
Although the season is over there were a lot of memories to go around. The year had so many positives and was such a great ride it's sure to be remembered for years to come.
It all started with the 3 straight tournament wins and 3 MVPs for Jordan Clarke. After the return from Hawaii Jordan went down with Mono but his teammates stepped up. We saw strong perfomances from Senior Steve Musenga, Junior Recardo Gaddy and Sophomores Ben Hazel and Devon Wright-Nelson. Julius Omoniurhie continued to develop and by the end of the year was a force inside to be reckoned with. Our back court of Louis Young and Rodney Glasgow ensure us of two more years of great ball handling and offensive fireworks.
This season also saw two home sellouts for Gonzaga and DeMatha and the team was in the Post Top 20 for almost the entire season. Although the season is over and our seniors are moving on we know the future looks bright and next year promises another terrific season. Thanks our players and to all the fans who came out and supported us!
