2016-17 Mojave Boys Basketball Capsule Preview

MOJAVE

Head coach: Adam Schwartz, first season

2015-16 record: 14-10 (7-7 Sunset, fifth)

Returning lettermen (starters): Four (one)

Top players: G Tyrique Watson (Sr.), G/F Jonathan Rodriguez (Sr.), G Tyrice Pender (Jr.)

Outlook: Schwartz inherits a team that returns just one starter from last year.

“We are a very young and inexperienced team,” Schwartz said. “We have two returning seniors and 10 underclassmen on the roster. We will have to replace a lot of scoring, but we have a lot of inexperienced, but capable pieces.

“We expect to go through some growing pains, but with consistent improvement, we hope to be very competitive as the season moves forward.”
