Mojave Boys Basketball 2012-2013 Capsule
Head coach: Colin Darfour, second season
2011-12 record: 5-21 (2-14 Northwest)
Returning lettermen (starters): Five (three)
Top players: F Marcus Hines (Sr.), C Jason Wallace (Sr.), G Omar Federico (Jr.), F Malik Abbott (So.)
Outlook: The Rattlers had a rough time in the Northwest League last season, but with three starters back and a change of scenery by moving to Division I-A, the team should be more able to compete.
Hines is the leading returning scorer after averaging 12.0 points per game, and Federico chipped in 8.0 ppg.
"Our team is a year older and more experienced," Darfour said. "Our goal is to be competitive and put ourselves in position to make the playoffs."
