Coach’s comment: “We are excited about the season.

 BOYS

Coach: Steven Mims

Top returners: Isaac Bonds, 5-10, Sr., G; Keondre Fryar, 6-1, Jr., F; Ishmael McNeil, 6-4, Sr., C; Dante Shadley, 6-1, Sr., F.

Top newcomers: Odell Gamble, 6-4, Jr., F; Jaylen Siermons, 6-4, So., F; Christopher Jordan, 5-11, Jr., G; James McLaurin, 5-8, Jr., G.

Coach’s comment: “There’s no question that E.E. Smith will enter the season with a completely different look from last year’s squad. For this season, we will work hard to increase our mental and physical toughness as well as the amount of pressure we place on the ball defensively. Our frontcourt players need more experience and development to go along with their athleticism. As the season goes on and they gain experience, they should be potentially one of the more successful frontcourts in the conference.’’
