A team that has historically needed to dip into its sophomore class more often than others, the Trojans return just 12 varsity players from last year’s squad and will look to do the same this season. Last season had four sophomores see time, including guard Jeremy Albertson who turned into a key cog for Pahrump Valley.
The Trojans are tight-knit group of players who need to make sure their offseason workout time is used as efficiently as possible. Like many smaller schools, the numbers on the team are too little to have the luxury of hoping for a new class of all-state players every year.
