HANOVERTON, Ohio (WKBN) – United fell in nine of its final 12 games to close out the 2022-23 campaign with an 8-15 record.
The Golden Eagles return a pair of starters from last year’s team in Luke Courtney and Trent Ellyson.
Look for newcomers – Beau Eichler, Louden Stryffeler, Andrew Ogilvie, Jason Pratt, Wayden Kiko and Garrett McIntosh – to contribute to the success of this group as well.
“This group is very tight and they push each other every day,” said Coach Jason Thompson. “We’ll need to focus on ball control and rebounding. Our strengths will be our team size and our athleticism.”
The season tips off Dec. 1 with a matchup against Jackson-Milton.
