TEAM PREVIEW:
On the heels of winning the first-ever DICK'S Nationals Championship, the magical ride for this storied program is far from over. And if you thought last year was special, just wait for what this season has in store. A legendary head coach with over 1,000-career wins. The nation's premier backcourt. Four of the squad's top six scorers returning -- Lindell Wigginton (16.4 ppg.), Ty-Shon Alexander (13.8 ppg.), Matt Coleman (11.2 ppg.), and Devontae Shuler (10 ppg.). A dominant forward added in Billy Preston. It will be hard, if not impossible, to match the talent and experience the Warriors have to start the upcoming campaign, putting their repeat potential through the roof. Ready or not, Oak Hill is primed to make this another year for the record books.
