Last district title: 2009
Key Returners: Jake Owens, Jake Smith, Jake Welch, Quinton Stevens, Jordan McGowan
Overview: The Mules are looking for another successful season after losing to Portageville in the state quarterfinal last season. Bernie was 1-1 against Portageville on the year after beating the Bulldogs for the title of the Bloomfield Christmas tournament last season.
Three of Bernie's four losses last season were to teams the Mules had already beat earlier in the year. The Mules will miss the services of Zach Curry and Dan Becking who were seniors last season.
"I think our expectations as a team are pretty high," Botsch said. "We just have to understand that you have to stay hungry and earn everything you get. I think as long as the kids adopt the attitude of earning everything they get, I think we will be all right."
The Mules should have a solid post threat in 6-5 Jake Smith and also have guards Quinton Stevens and Jake Welch on the outside that should provide some shooting power.
Quote: "I think really the biggest key for us is to make sure that we stay hungry and keep an edge -- keep an edge and understand how difficult it is night in and night out to continue to win."
