DESERT OASIS

Head coach: Ryan Fretz, third season

2014-15 record: 15-13 (3-5 Northwest, third)

Returning lettermen (starters): Six (four)

Top players: F Aamondae Coleman (Sr.), G Drevin Cannon (Sr.), G Taiga Miyano (Jr.), G Andrue Aguilera (Sr.), F Daron Fuglesten (Sr.)

Outlook: The Diamondbacks could be set up for a big season.

Coleman, a first-team All-Northwest League choice last year, averaged 15.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. He has plenty of support returning with Cannon (11.6 ppg), Miyano (8.2 ppg, 3.7 assists per game), Aguilera (6.2 ppg) and Fuglesten (5.4 ppg, 4.1 rpg) all expected to contribute.

"With the majority of last year's scorers back, our goal is to refine our offensive skills and focus a lot on improving on the defensive end of the floor," said Fretz, who added that he expects contributions from Jacob Heese, Tyler McClendon and Kaelin Crane coming off the bench.

"We have set goals to be a strong competitor at the top of our extremely talented league and region this year," Fretz said.
