Overview: This was the season Deschenes anticipated when he moved over from St. Dom’s and took the Gray-NG job three season ago. The Patriots will have a nice mixture of balance and experience. Kariotis was third team all-WMC last season and has added to his game. St. Pierre and Chanlatte were both starters last season and make up a very quick backcourt. Magno has improved his low-post scoring game and could be a double-double guy on a nightly basis. Haskell and Keenan provide length and will be vital to the Gray-NG defense. A playoff berth is the goal and appears to be within reach, although it will require continued improvement in an always-tough WMC.
