CENTERVILLE BOYS BASKETBALL<br />
Welcome!<br />
Thank you for your support of <strong>Centerville</strong> Schools and the Boys Basketball program. We are happy<br />
to see you and hope you enjoy tonight’s game!<br />
Our guys have worked very hard this off-season to put themselves in a position for another exciting<br />
year of <strong>Centerville</strong> Basketball. Our schedule will be tough again with non-conference games<br />
against successful teams from last year that are returning some of their top players - including<br />
defending state champions Moeller, Trotwood, and Trinity Catholic, KY. This year, as in most, our<br />
league schedule will be as difficult as any in the state. Springfield and Wayne look to again be the<br />
top two teams in the conference, but could be challenged by a very talented Beavercreek team.<br />
Fairmont will also be in the mix, returning several players seeing significant playing time last season.<br />
Our guys are looking forward to the opportunity to compete at a high level against the best<br />
players that our schedule has to offer.<br />
The graduation of 9 seniors, who won 22 games a year ago before falling to eventual state champ<br />
Moeller in the Regional Finals, leaves a huge hole to fill. The graduating seniors will be missed<br />
both on the court and in the locker room. Seniors returning this year are Mo Njie (3rd), Drew<br />
Thompson, Andre Zimmerman. Mo is our only returning player that saw significant playing time last<br />
season. Juniors vying for varsity time this year will be Reese Clark, Max Knauer, Tre Johnson, and<br />
Jayson Hayes. Rich Rolf returns for his sophomore season after suffering a knee injury last year<br />
just as he was entering the varsity line-up. Other underclassmen that have a chance to contribute<br />
to the varsity team this year are kebba Njie (So), Ryan Keifer (So), Cam Smith (So), Quinn Hafner<br />
(So), Chase Harrison (So), Tom House (So), Gabe Cupps (Fr), and Emmanuel Deng (Fr).<br />
Establishing consistent expectations and holding teammates accountable will be an important part<br />
of this group’s season. If our leadership approaches the season with a sense of urgency and can<br />
develop the trust we need to challenge each other daily in practice, we have a chance to be competitive<br />
with everyone on our schedule.<br />
Tough & Together!<br />
