Michael Tauber(200-130) begins his 13th season as head coach at Rockford High School. Assisted by Charlie Bemis & Nathan Maher will look to replace 6 kids who were all solid performers last season.
Jeremy Bingham returns as the lone starter from last year’s 13-13 squad. He’ll be looked upon to help revive the scoring punch lost from graduation. Senior Ben Zilmer is a late bloomer who has grown physically and skill-wise this off-season. The coaching staff expects big things from him.
Jimmy Monssen, Tommy Traen, Carter Olson and Nick Schultz are the returning juniors who have some experience off the bench. The remainder of the Rockford roster will be jostling for roles and looking for the opportunity to contribute.
The Central MN Conference is stocked with quality squad such as EVW & Maple Lake(early favorites), B-B-E & Kimball Area. The Rockets have rivalries across all of those teams & a non-conference one with HLWW. Section 5AA is headed by strong teams like Braham and Breck, who seem to again be early state tourney bid favorites.
Coach Tauber is excited to see how a team with little experience, but with quite a few players who devoted themselves to basketball in the offseason can progress throughout the year. It should be an interesting follow for us all.
