Men's Basketball Team
Looking Forward to Solid Season
12/02
Williams continues to be successful in recruiting strong players from local high schools. The starting line-up mixes a number of talented freshmen with the team's only experienced player, returning small forward Sydney Francis. The regular rotation goes nine or ten deep, with the offense feeding off defensive pressure. The team’s best scoring opportunities come from Francis, shooting guard Jose Rodriguez, and forward Clifford Powell. Good things are expected from freshmen forwards Reggie Kelly and Stephen Taylor, and guards Dwayne Washington and Clifford Pollard.
"I feel very upbeat about this year's team. The players have a great attitude, which will help them be a better team as the season goes on," said Williams. Last year the Vikings' season ended with a close loss to Morris in the semi-final round of the regional tournament.
Assistant coaches for the team are Gary Williams, Greg Grant and Jose Aviles.
