TEAM PREVIEW:

Chemistry is key here, because there simply will not be many squads that can compete with the talent Wheeler will bring to the court each game. A Division I-bound backcourt of Darius Perry and Kenny Aninye are the returning foundation pieces, but newcomers such as 2017 Flo40 wing Jordan Tucker, 2018 Flo40 forward and Montverde Academy transfer EJ Montgomery (Auburn), dynamic scoring guard Jordan Usher (USC), and elite sophomore Terry Armstrong can take the Wildcats to the promise land. A seventh Georgia 6A state title seems imminent if the players can click and a DICK's Nationals title might follow. No matter what, Wheeler will be a treat to watch throughout the 2016-17 campaign.
