Defense goes a long way.
At least that’s what Evergreen coach Brett Henry is emphasizing in his first year.
The Plainsmen have nine seniors, a new coach and are looking to surprise some folks this season.
“Anyone that (watches) this year is going to be surprised at what they see,” Henry said. “We’re doing things we didn’t in past years. We’re moving the ball, sharing it, we’re emphasizing defense.”
Evergreen went 3-7 in league last season.
Last year’s leading contributor John Hansberry has graduated, but stepping in to lead will be Dwight Jones, a 6-foot-2 junior guard, 6-foot-2 wing Jeremy Harju and the talented sophomore Zyell Griffin.
Henry, whose coaching stops consist of Lincoln (Ore.) and Lakeridge (Ore.), said he’s watching enough film to make sure no opponent surprises him.
