After winning their first Region IX Championship in the schools history and a 7th place finish at the NJCAA National Basketball Tournament the Mustangs are hoping once again to capitalize on  their success.  This year's group of Mustangs are poised to continue the winning tradition.  Once again expectations are high and the Mustangs are prepared for the challenge.  7 sophomores graduated and moved on to various colleges/universities, leaving 4 returning players, 3 returned LDS missionaries, 3 transfers, and 6 incoming freshman to carry on the pride and tradition of Mustang Basketball.  The Mustang program continues to be characterized by toughness, hard work, and good team chemistry.   The same will be expected this year if we wish to have the same kind of success, both on the basketball court and in the classroom.

Once again, the basketball schedule is very difficult and includes the traditional powers and the nationally ranked teams.  The team is comprised of a good balance in both freshman and sophomores.  The balance will create good competition in practice which in turn will create a more competitive team in the Region.  We continue to have quality student-athletes in our program who aren't afraid to work hard and to put in the additional time required to be a competitive program.  We are still trying to change both the mind-set and attitude of the program and this year's team will do a great job in carrying on the winning tradition that was established in the previous 4 seasons under Coach Bevell.

This year's sophomores and transfer students know the importance of hard work and how it correlates into winning.  They are not afraid to lead by example and show the incoming freshmen what it takes to be a successful student-athlete.  It should be a fun and exciting year again for Mustang fans.  With their support and hard work of the players we should once again see a winning season.
