The Patriots return three solid starters from last season.
Conference: Northwest Jersey Athletic
2014-15 record: 11-14
Players to watch: Sr. F Nate Szkarlatiuk (10 ppg); Sr. F Alex Predenkoski (8.6 ppg); Sr. G Jared Vuz (11.5 ppg); Sr. C Darian Redmond; So. G Evan Carter; Sr. C Pat Madey; Jr. F Hunter DePrimo.
Outlook: Szkarlatiuk, Predenskoski and Vuz were named tri-captains and give the Patriots three legitimate scoring threats. Carter also is expected to provide offense. The addition of the 6-foot-4 Redmond, a transfer from Ramapo, gives the team an athletic big man.
From coach Chad Tillou: “We’re playing quite a bit of man-to-man, which is a new concept because we’ve played a lot of zone in the past. The three captains have been great leaders on and off the court. One thing we’re stressing this year is ‘team.’ That’s kind of our slogan. We’re not quite at the level we want to be, but if we get to that level we’ll be competitive in our division.”
