The Clarkston varsity basketball team will have to adjust this year after losing All-State player, Chris Johnston, from last year’s 20-5 squad.
Last season the Wolves won their league, district and the regional on the way to a heartbreaking loss in the quarterfinals of the State tournament.
‘I expect to compete for the league championship, for the district championship and the for the regional championship,? said Coach Dan Fife. ‘We (will) have to play hard and smart to compete against (the top) teams,?
Six players from last year’s team will play big roles for the Wolves this year, especially senior guards Brad Goodman and Robbie Clark.
According to Fife, this year’s team will have to play without a dominant post presence and beat other teams to spots on the floor for their shots.
The varsity boys basketball team opens the season on the road on Dec. 8 against Flint Central. The first chance for the home fans to come out and show their support will be Dec. 10 when Flint Northern comes to town.
