Lake Mead Boys Basketball 2013-14 Capsule Preview

LAKE MEAD

Head coach: Jeff Newton, 20th season

2012-13 record: 20-7 (10-4 Division III Southern)

Returning lettermen (starters): Four (three)

Top players: G Drew Ramos (Sr.), G Brendon LeBaron (Jr.), G Dylan Graham (Jr.), G Elijah Pitman (Jr.)

Outlook: The Eagles have plenty of scoring to replace with the loss of Justin Yamzon, who scored 30 points per game, Caleb Pitman (9.6 ppg) and Wesley Brule (8.1 ppg).

Graham (7.8 ppg) was the team’s fourth-leading scorer last year, and LeBaron scored at a 6.4-ppg clip.

“This team is very young and athletic,” Newton said. “They will be challenged by learning a new defensive system. We are looking forward to keeping this team together for several years..

“The Division III Southern League is always challenging, night in and night out.”
