2011-2012 Outlook:

Coach Bjorkgren had this to say about the season:  "It is going to be an exciting year with competition at all positions.  There will be plenty of new faces but with continued hard work we will be a team that can compete for a Conference Championship and a berth at the State Tournament.  The players have participated on winning teams and that will be a plus for our Varsity basketball program."
