SIERRA VISTA
Head coach: Keith Ulrich, sixth season
2015-16 record: 11-16 (8-6 Sunset, fourth)
Returning lettermen (starters): Five (four)
Top players: G Maka Ellis (Jr.), F Chris McCoy (Sr.), F Maui SeraJosef (Sr.), Calvin Richards (So.)
Outlook: The Mountain Lions’ record last season is a bit deceptive as the Sunset League was loaded with talented teams.
Bringing back four starters from a team that qualified for the postseason is a plus.
Ellis (21 points per game) should again be one of Southern Nevada’s top offensive weapons. He’s joined by SeraJosef (10 ppg, 5 rebounds per game), McCoy (9 ppg, 8 rpg) and Richards (7 ppg, 2 steals per game).
“We expect to compete for a playoff spot in a very difficult league,” Ulrich said.
