Coach Steve Hartman and his Mounds Park Academy Park Panthers are eager to get this season started. Coach Hartman, assistant Tyler Schoenbauer & first year assistant Jermaine Wiley are going to be leading a young squad again this season, but there is some promise.
Five kids will supply a lot of the returning experience this season. Cole Montour, Cooper Olson, Amin Mahamoud, & Jacqui Gray are the returning juniors who’ll be pressed into action right off the bat. Sophomore Brendan Connolly averaged 13ppg as a freshman and will be looked upon again to provide scoring. His potential for the remainder of this high school career is awful promising.
Lake of size & strength hurts the Panthers when they play fellow IMAC giants like SPA, Minnehaha or Breck. The hope is the team continues to learn, grow, and improve because they have time to build yet with their youth, experience and shooting abilities.
Section 4AA is tough as always. Minnehaha Academy, Concordia Academy, SPA, & St Croix Lutheran are solid teams with opportunity to win the trophy to get to State.
Coach Hartman likes the potential for his guys and realizes there is some building to do yet to get them to the next level. With right attitudes and willingness to work through adversity from time to time, MPA might just surprise a team or two on a certain night.
