High school boys basketball: 1A team-by-team region capsules

Coach Comment: “These kids have played together for a long time and have good chemistry. They play together very well. We are pretty athletic, but not real big. Most of our seniors saw a lot of time last year, even though they were not starters, so lack of experience shouldn’t be a big factor. A lot of our success will depend on how well our younger players improve, to add some depth."
