2016-17 Sierra Vista Boys Basketball Capsule Preview

Head coach: Keith Ulrich, sixth season

2015-16 record: 11-16 (8-6 Sunset, fourth)

Returning lettermen (starters): Five (four)

Top players: G Maka Ellis (Jr.), F Chris McCoy (Sr.), F Maui SeraJosef (Sr.), Calvin Richards (So.)

Outlook: The Mountain Lions’ record last season is a bit deceptive as the Sunset League was loaded with talented teams.

Bringing back four starters from a team that qualified for the postseason is a plus.

Ellis (21 points per game) should again be one of Southern Nevada’s top offensive weapons. He’s joined by SeraJosef (10 ppg, 5 rebounds per game), McCoy (9 ppg, 8 rpg) and Richards (7 ppg, 2 steals per game).

“We expect to compete for a playoff spot in a very difficult league,” Ulrich said.
