MILL HALL — Cole Renninger<br />
has been leading this team since he<br />
was a lowly sophomore and head<br />
coach Scott Baker knows how much<br />
his senior wants to go out on a high<br />
note.<br />
“We believe that we have a group<br />
of kids that can compete at a very<br />
high level,” Baker said. “We’re a little<br />
concerned about our size particularly<br />
on the defensive end, but for the<br />
most part we believe we have the<br />
ability to score a little bit more than<br />
we have in the past. So, that capsules<br />
the team aspect and as for Cole we’re<br />
obviously expecting him to have a<br />
huge year. His confidence level is<br />
extremely high and barring injuries<br />
he’s basically going to break every<br />
school record we have. His singleseason<br />
marks should be very high, he<br />

Baker, Renninger ready for challenging season<br />
has the ability to score and we want<br />
to continue to see his perimeter<br />
shooting improve. He’ll be able to<br />
get other kids involved to because,<br />
like I said, I think we have other kids<br />
on this team that can score as well.”<br />
Watching Renninger play basketball<br />
is entertaining don’t get that<br />
twisted; but as ironic as it sounds if<br />
every game turns into the “Cole<br />
Show” this team will be looking at a<br />
season similar to the last one.<br />
Renninger will produce big numbers<br />
but the bigger those numbers are<br />
they leads to an entire team not having<br />
success. Renninger needs help,<br />
putting it simply. If Renninger goes<br />
for 30 a night that’s great but what<br />
would be even better is if his team<br />
scores 65-70 plus. He can’t be 70<br />
percent of the teams’ offensive production<br />
each and every game. To<br />
Renningers credit he doesn’t just<br />
(570) 748-6727<br />
know how to score he can also dish<br />
out some dimes, but his teammates<br />
need to cash in on their opportunities.<br />
“I think Tyler Everhart has had a<br />
fantastic off-season and he’s going<br />
to be a tremendous shooter,” Baker<br />
said. “He’s just a junior and we’re<br />
looking for him to score the ball<br />
more. Travis Turchetta has the ability<br />
to be an inside-outside play and<br />
just overall, our ability to shoot from<br />
the perimeter is going to be so much<br />
better than it has been in the last few<br />
years.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> schedule is something that will<br />
look a lot different this season. By<br />
now, everyone knows that CM is an<br />
independent school no longer officially<br />
associated with the Mountain<br />
League. This means the Wildcats<br />
will be unfamiliar with some of their<br />

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL<br />
New coach looking<br />
for strong debut<br />
By TIM RAY<br />
tray@lockhaven.com<br />
MILL HALL — New coach Lindsey Rogers believes she<br />
has a strong group of players that have a lot of potential, but<br />
she knows the burden of proof will be on her coaching ability.<br />
“Getting into a routine and having the players get used to my<br />
coaching style is important,” Rogers said. “I was an assistant<br />
coach for the past five years so this is a whole different role for<br />
me. Me getting use to this new leadership role and the girls getting<br />
use to me as head coach are the two most important<br />
things.”<br />
In the ‘10-11 and ‘11-12 seasons the Central Mountain<br />
Girls’ basketball programs has hovered around the .500 mark.<br />
Needless to say that this year’s group is hungry for greater<br />
things. It won’t be easy though, the Lady Wildcats lose two<br />
valuable players to graduation in Rimma Heverly and Kaylin<br />
Smith. Heverly was the team’s leading scorer and by far was<br />
the best threat from beyond the arc. <strong>The</strong>se two were also the<br />
