Outlook: Pittman (4.7 points, 2.0 assists per game), Cellier (6.3 points, 2.2 rebounds) and Ivan (3.2 points, 3.0 rebounds) are McWhinnie's only returning letter winners.
"Our team has quick, strong athletes that will contribute at both ends of the floor," McWhinnie said.
All five starters are new, so inexperience may play a role.
"We have to jell as a team early because of the experience the top league teams return," McWhinnie said.
The Hawks and Eagles have played several classic games over the last two years, each having success on the other teams’ home court. TC knocked Maumee Valley out of the playoffs last year in double overtime in the game-which-has-not-been-blogged-yet.
Small stuff: MV defeated TC in Premier Summer League play…TC lost all five starters from last year’s TAAC third place team…this will be one of the last games in the classic old-school TC gym
