TEAM PREVIEW:
A crushing 62-60 overtime loss in the DICK'S Nationals title game has left a sour taste, but have no fear, La Lumiere will be expected to return with vengeance. Flo40 wing Brian Bowen has taken the next step. Point guard Tyger Campbell is a year older. Better yet, additions such as elite Flo40 forward Jaren Jackson (Michigan State), shooting guard Jordan Poole (Michigan), and Australian big man Jacob Epperson enter with high hopes to take this emerging program to even greater heights. Head coach Shane Heirman has built a national powerhouse, and it might be the year La Lumiere takes the reins as the top team in the country.
