COACH COMMENTS ON TEAM/LEAGUE

Our teams greatest strengths are our work ethic and willingness to get better everyday. Our biggest area of concern is how quickly we can get an inexperienced team to play with consistency and a sense of urgency. I think every team in the CVC has a shot at the top four spots. In the three of the leagues existence I believe this year provides more parity than ever before.

I think McNary has the edge based on the amount of experience they bring back and their style of play. McKay also has a unique style of play that really fits their personnel and they have the league's best player in Carter. After those two it really will come down to who can play consistently and protect their home floor.
