Monroe County Division II

CHURCHVILLE-CHILI SAINTS

Last season: Finished 2-19 and lost to UPrep in the opening round of the Class AA sectionals.

Coach: Tim Miller

Top returner: Eric Lewis Sr. G 6-foot, 160 lbs (21 PPG/2nd Team AGR).

Top newcomers: Corey Powell Sr. G 6-foot-2 155 lbs, Fidel Brock Jr. G 5-foot-8 140 lbs and Marcus Postal So. F 6-foot-1 165 lbs.

First game: Friday, December 1st vs. Rush-Henrietta.

Outlook: Lewis leads a young Churchville-Chili team that is looking to be very competitive each night and improve on last season’s record. Can the Saints hold opponents under 50 points?

GREECE ARCADIA TITANS

Last season: Finished 8-14 and lost to eventual NYS champion Irondequoit, 68-37 in the A1 quarter-finals.

Coach: Roger Klimek/22nd season (236-213).

Top returners Joe Gallery (8.0 PPG, 3.0 RPG), Caleb Barnard, Chris Colilli, Ray Mineo, Robert Smith, Lucas Sadwick and Robert Smith.

Top newcomers: Sean Crowell, Kyle Blum, Joe Desiato, Justin Augustine, Anthony Morris and Davion Hill.

First game: Friday, December 1st at Greece Athena.

Outlook: Arcadia is very small and has struggled to score in its early scrimmages. Rebounding will become important for the Titans to put together some wins.

IRONDEQUOIT EAGLES

Last Year: Finished 25-2 and New York State Class A as well as Class A1 Section 5 Champions Monroe County Division II Champions.

Coach: Chris Cardon/32nd season (417-253).

Top Returners: Gerald Drumgoole Jr. G (14.8 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 3.2 APG/All State, First Team All Greater Rochester, MVP of Class A1 Sectionals and First Team All County), Frederick June Jr. Jr. G (2.7 PPG, 1.8 APG, 1.5 RPG), Tanner Pioch Sr. C (1.9 PPG 1.6 RPG), Robert Diaz-Judson Sr. F (1.0 PPG, 1.2 RPG) and William Porter Sr. G (1.9 PPG, 1.1 RPG).

Top Newcomers: Patrick Thomas Jr. F (transfer from Bishop Kearney/12PPG, 9.0 RPG), Josh Stenglein Jr. G (leading scorer on the JV team), Kenny Gonzalez Jr. F and Luke Melidona So. G.

First Game: Friday, December 8th vs. Greece Arcadia.

Outlook: Despite losing four starters, Irondequoit should be very competitive in Division II and Class A1. The Eagles biggest challenge will be to that after winning the first state title in program history, this is a completely different team from last year. Instead of being defending state champions they are seeking their own identity. Irondequoit has just three seniors on this squad.

SPENCERPORT RANGERS

Last season: Finished 9-12 (7-3 in Division II) and lost to Greece Arcadia, 55-41 in the opening round of Class A1.

Coach: Kyle Trevas/ third season (16-26).

Top returners Josh Reding Sr. G (10.6 PPG, 4.6 APG, 1.7 steals, 83.3 FT percentage, 2^nd Team All County, returning starter, second-year captain and third year on varsity), Malcolm McCollough Sr. F (7.o PPG, 5.4 RPG, returning starter and Captain) and JJ Jenkins Sr. G (4.0 PPG, returning starter).

Top newcomers: Alton Jones Jr. Sr. G 6-foot, 170 lbs, Gino Pellett, So. G/F 6-foot, 150 lbs and Ben Reding So. G 5-foot-10 140 lbs.

First game: Friday, December 1st vs. Webster Schroeder.

Outlook: Seven of Spencerport’s top 10 players are seniors, and the Rangers could start five of those seniors. Three starters return from last year’s squad and sixth man Evan Clarke will move into the first five. Spencer port will struggle on the glass. How well they rebound will have a direct connection to their success.

WEBSTER THOMAS TITANS

Last season: Finished 8-13 and lost to Rush Henrietta, 67-48 in first round of of Class AA.

Coach: Griffin Coles/fifth season (31-48).

Top returners: CJ Battaglia Sr. F, Joe Luconte Sr. PG, Will Johnson Sr. G and Colin LaBarbera Sr. G (only played in first seven games last season due to injury).

Top newcomers: Andrew Mason So. G (only played in first game last season due to injury).

First game: Tuesday, December 5th at Newark.

Outlook: Thomas has experience at the guard position but will be inexperienced in the post. The Titans will look for newcomers to step up and play down low. Getting every player to accept their role will be a priority in developing team chemistry. Veteran leadership will play an important role.

WEBSTER SCHROEDER WARRIORS

Last season: Finished 5-16 and lost to Aquinas, 68-40 in the opening round of Class AA sectionals.
