Last year's record: 14-7
Coach: Ben Hodges (2nd season)
Key returnees: Kevin Van Lenten, 6-0, Sr., G; Teddy Reed, 6-4, Sr., F; Sean Gallagher, 5-9, Sr., G; Clay Cleveland, 6-0, Jr., G/F; James Riordan, 6-1, Sr., F.
Strengths: Van Lenten (15 ppg., 6 assists per game) and the rugged rebounding Reed are returning starters and Gallagher is a good 3-point shooter. The Chietains have a fair amount of experience and the kids who played on Masco's very successful soccer and football teams bring a winning attitude with them.
Concerns: Trying to find time for everyone is coach Hodges biggest worry. He has a lot of good athletes but is looking for a playing style that best suits their talent. Is Masco going to be a running team or a half court team? That's what they're trying to figure out.
Coach's outlook: "I don't like to go backwards. We don't want to rebuild. We can be better than last year, but it won't be easy. We'll see how this group fits into the style that we're going to play."
