OnFocus Season Preview
Coaching staff: Head Coach: Justin Beck, Assistant and JV Coach Ben Martinson
Key returners: Brynden Beck 2 year starter JR 5’11” 12 PPG as Sophomore, Josh Tranel, returning starter 5’11”, 7.5 PPG last season as sophomore, Eric Moch 2 year Starter 6’3” 4 PPG and 4 RPG as a JR, Hayden Hewitt returning forward 6’2” 7 RPG and 4 PPG.
Key newcomers: Tyler Martinson 5’9”, Logan Parker 6’7”, Max Michels 5’9”, Chase Baumgart 6’6”
Conference outlook:
CWC South is pretty loaded. I see us battling in the top 3. Pacelli is returning 80% of their line up and the same with AB so I presume they are the odds on favorite.
Keys to your success this season:
Controlling possessions, not allowing 2nd chance opportunities, shooting the ball from 3 at a high margin
Behind the scenes: Who are some of the people that help your program succeed?
AD Shane Steltenpohl for making everything happen.
Manager Abby Tranel does the coordination of our special nights (Senior night, parents nights, youth night, Alumni Night).
Dani Kilps: Areas #1 athletic trainer! takes such great care of us
Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share? This team has some unknowns. Who is going to step up after Gibbs and Tranel graduated but I think collectively we can cover their point output. I think this team has a lot of potential with speed and size and I really like their grittiness!
