BROOKFIELD, Ohio (WKBN) – Brookfield returns a pair of standouts in Donovan Pawlowski and Isaiah Jones to a team that was one-point shy of reaching the district round last February.

Pawlowski and Jones each averaged over 15 points per game and are both approaching the 1,000-point plateau for their careers.

Look for Matteo Fortuna, Carter Creed, Nevon Hoffman, Brian Reardon and Xavier Witherow to contribute this coming season.

“We have a lot of new faces along with our two returning starters in Donovan and Isaiah,” said coach Shawn Hammond. “We expect to compete for the league title and make a deep run in the playoffs as we do every year. Continuity will be our biggest hurdle early. Hopefully, that peaks in February.”

The Warriors are seeking their first winning season since 2014-15 (16-7).

This season tips off at home against Hubbard on December 2.
