Who's is going to be the team this year in basketball?

I've watched basketball my whole life and the LHAC conference is going to be exciting to watch.

PC (as always) will be a very tough team under the hard work ethics and great coaching of coach frycklund

I hate to admit this as a PC alumni, but PC is really going to struggle this season. They have nobody who can score points except Tomaselli and teams will focus their defensive game plans on him. If Tomaselli cannot create his own shot and score around 25 every game, PC will have problems scoring points against a lot of teams.

That said, they don't exactly play the strongest schedule in the world, so I think they're looking at a .500 season, gtive or take a few games.

We play an easy schedule? find me an all around tougher conference than the LHAC and find me a tougher schedule. we play all of the teams that you guys think are "good" and will be contenders. You guys put to much stock into people who graduated instead of the athletes that are still there. maybe you should come scout before you make your predictions abt us and you'd find out that LT isn't the only person on the team that can go for 20.

Westmont-Hilltop plays a MUCH harder schedule than Penn Cambria...They play WPIAL AA pre-season favorite Beaver Falls, District 10 AA power Mercyhurst Prep, and will play 3 very difficult games in the AAAA Hollidaysburg Holiday Tourney.

PC's schedule isn't even close to that. PC plays weak teams out of conference, with the exception of Lewistown and Huntingdon, neither of which is the calibre of Beaver Falls or Mercyhurst or the AAAAs Westy will face.

I don't have to see PC play this year, I know what they have coming back (Tomaselli and not much else with varsity experience) and I know basketball in western PA. Bruce is a very solid coach, but a lack of talent and experience will make it difficult this season. I think Bruce should be coach of the year if PC finishes in the top 3 in the ELHACK. Jtown, Westy, CC, and McCort are MUCH stronger than PC and Forest Hills is as good or slightly better.

IMHO, PC will finish with 12 Ws give or take a few.

LOOK TO SEE WESTMONT AS A FLOP TEAM THIS YEAR. WHO CAN REPLACE MAHLER. I DEFINATELY SEE PC BEATING WESTMONT THIS YEAR.

OK First... PC your out of conference schedule consists of teams lik Conemaugh Valley and Blairsville... Good but Single A teams...
2nd Ozbold will be one of the better forwards this yera and I personally think he can put up better performances and do better than ozbold... but ozbolds success also came from havin guards like Peters and Thompson,
and Luke Tominselli? I think the kid can create his own shots and put up 25 a night no doubt, he does it all the time.... although it will be at the exspense of other players numbers which may not help the team
