Final Comments:
STRENGTHS FOR THE SEASON

We’ve established a program filled with fierce competitors who hate to lose, solid leadership, and plenty of depth at the guard position starting with our returning lettermen Casey Agler and Kane Jones.

WEAKNESSES FOR THE SEASON

We have a very young roster with promising potential. Our biggest hurdle will be getting our young newcomers plenty of experience at the varsity level. I think we have a lot of unknown in the foreseeable future, but I think this group will be quick learners under the leadership of our senior captains Casey Agler and Tytus Manz.

OVERALL OUTLOOK

In the few short months as a first year head coach, our staff and players have established a passionate culture throughout the Paulding Basketball program. Our young talent is eager to get back on the hardwood and keep pushing for continued success that our previous senior group started. I’m excited for this new opportunity and also excited to see what the future has in store for Paulding Basketball.
