2017-18 Virgin Valley Boys Basketball Capsule

Head coach: Mark Barnum, first season

2016-17 record: 20-9 (7-3 Class 3A Sunrise, second)

Returning lettermen (starters): Two (one)

Top players: F Jayden Perkins (Sr.)

Outlook: Barnum takes over a team that will have a boatload of new faces this year.

Of the 10 players on last year’s Bulldog team, eight graduated last spring. Perkins (6.8 points, 4.1 rebounds per game) is the lone returning starter and has spent the fall as a star on the school’s football team.

“We are young and inexperienced,” Barnum said.
