Scouting report For a second straight year the Hilltoppers will be hampered by an extended playoff football run that will cause six players to miss the start of the season. The list includes the team's leading scorer last year, the 6-foot-6 Warden, an explosive athlete who is dangerous inside and out. Marston, a point guard, is another experienced player still competing in football. The good news is the development of the 6-6 Mache twins, both physically and ability-wise. After a freshman year of seasoning on the varsity level, they'll figure much more significantly into the team plans. Another sophomore, the 6-5 Lowery, adds even more size to the team. "When we get to full strength, I expect us to have a pretty good year," Hoder said. "It just may take us a while to get going."
