Head coach: Brian Cox (first season)

2018-2019 record: 11-12 (8-8 SPSL)

Key players: Kyler Kelso, sr., F; Gavin Morkert, sr., F; Eli Mackie, sr., G; Brayden Segerman, sr., F; John Walters, sr., G; Sam Canton, jr., G; Jack Kees, sr., F.

Outlook: The Wolves return a large portion of last year’s playoff team and should continue to be strong defensively. The offense has plenty of playmakers and a point guard in Mackie ready to bring a little more speed and athleticism than in years past, but they also should be difficult to guard in the half-court with their three big men — Kelso, Morkert and Segerman — creating mismatches.
