It hasn’t taken Chris Sparks long to build up Wilbraham & Monson Academy. In short order, the former Penn assistant coach has made the program a good destination, and this season he’ll have his most talented team yet.

Suffield Academy Wants to Run
Pushing the tempo promises to be the name of the game for Suffield Academy this year. Jeff Depelteau’s squad doesn’t have a lot of size, so the game plan will be to run as often as possible, and that was evident during some of Monday’s open gym.
Young Talent Comes to BU For New England Elite 75 Frosh/Soph Event
Young talent packed Case Gym on Saturday for the New England Elite 75 Freshman/Sophomore event, and we take a look at some of the players who stood out.
New Hampton Has Plenty of Guards
One thing New Hampton doesn’t lack is guards, but there is some talent among their tallest players. That’s a good thing since they aren’t very deep up front and may need a lot of minutes from them.
St. Andrew’s Has Class Balance, More Size
St. Andrew’s won’t be as talented this year, but Mike Hart likes the team he has. They will have some good youth and a little more size this time around.
St. Mark’s Has Improved on the Perimeter
As is usually the case, St. Mark’s has plenty of size on its squad this year. But the real development this year comes away from the basket, as the Lions appear to have the best perimeter unit they have had in Dave Lubick’s tenure at the school.
Proctor Academy Tries to Rebuild
Proctor Academy has had some success in recent years, but this season’s team will be small and young after a couple of defections from last year. That means some growing pains could be ahead.
Cushing Has a Veteran Presence
Cushing Academy has been young in recent years, but now has more of a veteran presence.
Talented Notre Dame Prep Gets After It
Notre Dame Prep has plenty of talent, but their effort made their open gym the one with the best basketball thus far.
Northfield Mount Hermon Doesn’t Lack Size
If you’re looking for size, there’s probably not a better place to go than Northfield Mount Hermon as that is their best asset. There is also good depth as well, perhaps as much as the school has ever had.
