Final Comments:
We are young, scrappy and play hard from tip to buzzer. We can get up the floor quick to get easy points. We are average outside shooters but getting better. Weaknesses will be our depth and ability to score but as the season progresses we should be able to find those ""go to"" players.

Should be able to compete with the majority of our schedule. The Metro will be tough for us especially with Norton, Streetsboro, and Woodridge. The belief here in the program is to get better everyday, and that continues to happen.
