CHAPARRAL
Head coach: Steven Bentz, second season
2013-14 record: 9-19 (5-7 Sunrise, fourth)
Returning lettermen (starters): Six (four)
Top players: G Marc Silas (Jr.), C Maharie Trotter (Sr.), F Edgar Ramirez (Sr.), F Richard Nelson (Jr.)
Outlook: The Cowboys won a play-in game last year to earn the Sunrise League’s final postseason berth.
Four starters return from that team, led by Silas (11.8 points per game, 2.7 assists per game) and Trotter (4.8 ppg, 11.1 rebounds per game). Ramirez (3.1 ppg) and Nelson (5.6 rpg) also are expected to contribute.
“We bring back lots of experience and skilled players this season that should give us more depth as a team,” Bentz said. “I look forward to having a balanced offensive attack and a tough, hard-nosed defensive team this year.”
