Coach’s comment: “One of my team’s strengths is the strong and experienced players I have on our baseline. Charles Massie, one of my new players, tore his ACL this past summer and will miss the first half of the season. Although this could be a weakness for us, I believe all of my players are key components to help us go far and be very competitive this season.”
