Lawrence high school 2016/2017 boys basketball preview

December 2, 2016

Lawrence Bulldogs

Boys’ Basketball

10-9 (Lost in quarterfinals)

Expectations:

The league is more wide open to start the season than in seasons past. With that, the expectations are that if we play hard and play tough that we will be able to compete on a night to night basis.

Strengths:

So far the positive attitude of the players and their willingness to work has been a huge plus so far. The seniors have been very positive with everybody on the team. We also have one of the top 10 players in the state on the team in 6′ 2″ senior guard Mason Cooper.

Challenges:

We return only three letter winners from last season. We will be in inexperienced from a varsity playing time perspective. Our team is not blessed with a lot of natural height.

Key Players:

Mason Cooper, senior guard

Brandon Hill, senior guard

Ryan Pellerin, senior guard

Braden Ballard, junior forward

Kobe Nadeau, sophomore guard

Other information:

This has been a fun team to coach early this season. Their energy and effort level in practice has been outstanding. Their goal is to make it to Augusta and go from there. Their positive attitudes will aid them on this journey.
