Third year coach Lawrence Tompkins heads the Susquehanna Sabers varsity boys\u2019 basketball team led by returning starting guard, Brandon Soden.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Sabers had a winning record of 13-11 overall (6-6 in division play); they were the runner-up in District II Class A.<\/p>\n

Coach Tomkins said, \u201cWe have a team that is deep enough to play 9-12 players early in the season. That competition for playing time should create for an intense day-to-day environment where the players are willing to work hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

He and his assistant coaches, Richard Emmons and David Bell would like to see their team compete for a district championship.<\/p>\n

The 2013-2014 Varsity Sabers are: Josh Wheeler (G), Mark Zappe (F), Cody Towers (G), Steve Frye (F), Kyle MacDonald (G), Nate Carpenter (F), Christian Miller (F), Austin Felter (G), Luke Falletta (G\/F), Kasey Burdick (G), Brady Towner (G), and Tyler Williams (G).

There are four returning starters to help the Eagles reach that goal: Derek Bradley, 12th, 6\u20193\u201d (C); Nick Schermerhorn, 12th, 5\u201910\u201d (G); Brett Crowley, 12th, 6\u20191\u201d (G); and Chad Wescott, 12th, 5\u201910\u201d (G).<\/p>\n

The Eagles hope to improve on their 6-14 record from last season with the help of the other returning players: Brandon Hawm, 12th, 5\u201910\u201d (G); Mark Fontana, 12th, 5\u201910\u201d (G); Tyler Salak, 12th, 6\u20191\u201d (C); Ryan Lavin, 11th, 5\u201910\u201d (G); Bryan Owens, 11th, 6\u20191\u201d (C); Robert Perry, 11th, 6\u20190\u201d (G); Trystan Phillips, 11th, 6\u20191\u201d (F); Deon Faramelli, 10th, 6\u20192\u201d (F); Cody Hollister, 10th, 5\u20199\u201d (G); Gabe Fontana, 11th, 6\u20192\u201d (F); Matthew Lavin, 9th, 6\u20190\u201d (G); Jesse Gerfin, 9th, 6\u20192\u201d (F); Tyler Walcalowski, 9th, 5\u20197\u201d (G); and Josh Johnson, 9th, 6\u20191\u201d (F).<\/p>\n

Meteors eye playoff run<\/strong>
\nThe Montrose Meteors return four starters to the court this season under the lead of third year coach, Sean Madden.<\/p>\n

Returning starters are: Erik Burgh, Troy Ely, Cameron Dean, and Brenton Warner.<\/p>\n

The Meteors hope to improve on their 13-11 record from last year and further their district play-off run past the quarter finals reached in 2012-13 season.<\/p>\n

Coach Madden said, \u201cWith all the returning starters and experience on the floor this year we have coming back, I am expecting us to contend for a league title and hopefully make a run at districts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other Meteors on the Varsity roster are: Jack Fruehan, Frank Fruehan, Austin Smith, Justin Richel, Mason Peck and Justin Hartman.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are just going to try to get better and better each game. We need to practice at our full potential to be able to reach our goals.\u201d Madden said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
