Virgin Valley Boys Basketball 2012-2013 Capsule

November 14, 2012 - 12:50 pm

Head coach: Sean FitzSimons, first season

2011-12 record: 12-15 (2-2 3A Southern)

Returning lettermen (starters): Four (three)

Top players: F Tyson Teerlink (Sr.), F Dee Bowler (Jr.), G Garrett Leavitt (Jr.)

Outlook: Bowler averaged 11 points and four assists per game, and Teerlink chipped in nine points and six rebounds per game last season.

They'll be counted on to lead a group of more inexperienced varsity players.

"We will be rebuilding a bit, trying to put kids where they fit," FitzSimons said. "We look to be athletic and hope to compete for a playoff spot in the newly-formed Division I-A."
