Where the boys are 2008-09 season tips off tonight BOB ETTINGERStar Beacon The Red Raiders will welcome Lakeside on Saturday (6) to tip off the year.
Edgewood (8-13, 3-5 last season) has put itself in position to challenge the Red Raiders for NEC supremacy. Aside from Artman (6-5 F), the Warriors welcome back senior Ed Hall (6-2 F) and junior Sean Butler (6-5 W) to the front court. Also back for the Warriors are senior point guard Giancarlo Fasano (5-8) and sophomore guard Marcus Harmon (5-10). The Warriors will welcome Newbury for their opener on Saturday (6). Geneva coach John Marhefka has a serious rebuilding job in front of him. The Eagles return only two letterman to a team that was 8-14, 3-5 last season. Senior Alec Muller (6-1 W) and junior Tyler Erb (6-0 W) will be charged with helping to bring along the young Eagles. The Eagles will travel to Chardon on Friday. Conneaut will boast one of the most experienced rosters in the area this season, with seven lettermen returning from a team that was 9-13 (2-6) in 2007-08. In the backcourt, the Spartans return seniors Dane Malys (6-0 senior), Steven Joslin (5-10 junior) and Chris Howland (5-9 junior). Returning in the frontcourt are seniors Ryan Anderson (6-1), Cody Blood (6-1), Kyle Clancy (5-10) and Karl Clancy (6-1). The Spartans main concern could be a considerable lack of height — no player on the roster is listed as taller than 6-1. Conneaut will head to Berkshire for its opener on Saturday (6). Jefferson (11-10, 4-4) will be without leading scorer Zak Blair, who is now playing baseball at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, S.C., and return just three players with varsity letters. However, seniors C.J. Graf (6-3 F), Zak Graf (6-3 F) and John Anderson (6-3 P) have been a part of the Falcons varsity roster for the better part of two full seasons and might well be able to take the Jefferson program to another level. The Falcons will open at North on Friday. PAC
