Canyon Springs Boys Basketball 2012-2013 Capsule
Head coach: Freddie Banks, second season
2011-12 record: 18-10 (11-3 Northeast)
Returning starters: Two
Top players: G Shaquile Carr (Jr.); G/F Gerad Davis (Jr.); G Chris Nelson (Jr.); F/C Nick Robison (Jr.)
Outlook: The Pioneers return a pair of All-Sunrise Region performers in Carr and Davis, and should again be among the best teams in the Northeast League.
Carr, a dynamic point guard, will have to carry the load early as Davis recovers from knee surgery. Banks said Davis should be back by mid-December.
"Shaq's going to be outstanding," Banks said. "He's matured a lot. He's more of a leader now. Hopefully he can get the team going."
Nelson was a standout on the junior varsity, and should help on the perimeter, with Robison giving the team a presence in the post.
