Players returning from that successful squad include Seniors Zachary Bredman (Guard, All-Conference, 7 ppg, 4 rpg, 4 apg) and Ethan Larson (Forward), and juniors Gannon Bolgrean (Guard, All-Conference, 10 ppg, 6 rpg, 2 apg) and Brady Nosal (Guard).

New players to the varsity include 6’4” senior Atticus Olson, several juniors and a few sophomores who will be competing for varsity minutes.

“It’s hard to say how and who will shake out in the rotation,” said Coach Askegaard.  “Once the football players joined us the competition in practice greatly increased.  Our expectations this year are much like last year.  We feel we can be towards the top in the conference and the section.  With some young/new guys getting some time to start the season we will go through some growing pains, but I expect us to be playing our best basketball in the middle of February into March.  Our conference and section graduated a great amount of talent last year so it will be fun and interesting to see which teams grow and rise to the top.”
