COACH COMMENTS ON TEAM/LEAGUE
This is a very experienced perimeter team. Leunen is a sophomore, but started all games last year. We expect to finish first or second--we will be stronger than last year when we finished second (to McKay).
I think West is the team to beat with Sexton and Bishop in the middle. I think we will be battling them for the top spot. I also think that McNary, Sprague and South will contend. North is improved and could be the dark horse with McKay being small, but scrappy--it should be a fun league to watch this year!
