Circle The Date
1/8: @ Brick Memorial - The Dragons try and end a 7-match losing streak to crosstown rival Brick Memorial.
Brick features a very young lineup this season, as the team took a bit of a ding to graduation, especially down low. Fortunately, there is some good talent coming in from the feeder program that are looking to make an immediate impact.
The lower half of the lineup could be comprised almost entirely of underclassmen, with the lone exception being returning starter, Fernando Romero, a junior. The only other returning starter down low is sophomore John Trainor, so the Dragons will be breaking in a lot of new faces. Among those new faces will be several members of their promising freshmen class including, Sean Zukowski, Riley Bell, Dean Canfield, Tyler Weisneck, and Evan Tallmadge, who was a JSJWL champion last season.
There will be a lot of new faces in the upper half of the lineup as well. Seniors Jacob Konstantoulas iand Dayna Andrews sandwich the upper portion from 152 to 285, and can provide a bit of veteran leadership. Juniors Jarred Keefe and Josten Hernandez-Gonzalez both have some varsity experience, but the rest of the upperweights will consist mostly of newcomers to the lineup.
With just a handful of seniors in the room, this will be a bit of a rebuild as the Dragons break in a lot of underclassmen into the lineup. The youngsters are experienced, having put the time in the intermediate and rec programs, so the hope is that this group will come along quickly as the Dragons look to remain competitive in the brutal A-South division.
