Liberty Boys Basketball 2012-2013 Capsule

Head coach: Quintin Lester, first season

2011-12 record: 9-16 (4-10 Southeast)

Returning lettermen (starters): Five (two)

Top players: F Elijah Graves (Jr.), G Jeremy Lontayao (Sr.)

Outlook: Lester moves over to the boys program after three highly-successful seasons as Liberty's girls coach.

He inherits a team with two returning starters, including Graves, who averaged 9.3 points and 7.5 rebounds per game last year.

"This group will challenge for a playoff spot," Lester said. "The team is fairly young, but they are pretty talented. We will be competitive."
