Coach Steve Weemer.

Top players Alex Edmondson, sr., G; Tyler Edmondson, jr., F; Jakobi Johnson, jr., G; Ryan Lippman, sr., G; Chris MacFayden, jr., F; Tyler Perkins, sr., G; Mark Szott, jr., F.

Scouting report Defense, depth, rebounding and chemistry typify this unit as Weemer enters his fifth season in Aurora. Scoring, however, is not as immediately evident since there's no clear "go-to" player and the Warriors graduated most point producers including All-Area Jelani Johnson. Kid brother Jakobi is a returning starter as is Perkins, who Weemer likes for defense, coachability and scoring potential. The 6-foot-7 Tyler Edmondson, 6-4 MacFayden and 6-4 banger Szott hit the boards. Returnee Lippman adds an outside touch, but points will be mainly by committee at least until the juniors get their feet wet. "I think we're going to have a lot of guys averaging around that 8-10 (point) mark," Weemer said.
