The basketball atmosphere at US is just about beginning once again this winter. With a brand new outstanding court installed this offseason, as well as a newly hired head coach Sean McDonnell, this season appears promising. With many returning players as well as some talented freshman thrown into the mix, all three teams should have success this season. Although the captains for this year’s varsity team have not yet been selected, it has not stopped the players from conducting workouts to prepare for the season. New head coach and athletic director Sean McDonnell has many years of coaching and basketball experience: He coached at Case Western Reserve, and knows how to win and how a winning team is formed. We are all looking forward to seeing what Sean McDonnell can do in his first year coaching the Preppers. The players are getting ready to tackle their upcoming opponents, and kick off a great season in Weatherhead Gymnasium. We hope you all come out and support the squad in the upcoming months.
