Promising newcomers : Not available at press time. Outlook: The Patriots put together their best season in many years in their debut under DiBiase, one of the most successful coaches in state history. G-NG bid farewell to most of
the players responsible for that run. Boulos and Johnson lead a young team that will look to its backcourt for leadership. Someone must step up to fill the void in production left by Jensen.

regular returning starters. GNG has some height, but will look to be aggressive and play an uptempo style at both ends of the floor. Andreasen is hopeful the team can improve quickly and challenge for another tourney berth in Western B. Coach’s comment: “Although our team returns seven varsity players, they are generally lacking major varsity experience. The team has worked hard in the preseason and has formed a cohesive unit that works well as a team. I look for the team to improve as the season progresses and will challenge for a tournament spot in February.” — Coach Mike Andreasen
boys have some intriguing potential in the sprints and should be very competitive in the relays. Coach’s comment: “We have a good, strong upperclass with some serious talent on the senior side.” — Coach Todd Mercer

Outlook: There is a good chunk of talent gone from last year’s team, including ace Kolby Arnold. But six of the team’s top 10 in points from a year ago return, Shelley has the pedigree in net and has shown some flashes of solid play, and Simard ought to push him. There is a good mix of experience a nd new blood on t he tea m a nd t he Patriotic Knights should push to return to the playoffs. Coach’s comment: “The number one goal is to return to the playoffs. We hope to win enough to host another playoff game.” — Coach Aaron Rand
