Mansfield Lake Ridge Eagles
Head Coach: Cornelius Mitchell
District 3-6A
Cornelius Mitchell enters his second season of leading Mansfield Lake Ridge and the Eagles are coming off an incredible year. This was a Mansfield Lake Ridge team that went 32-7 and reached the Class 6A State Semifinals.
The Eagles return just two starters off that squad. Players to watch this year include Shaqir Pack (6 ppg, 3 rpg, 2 apg, 2 spg), Eze Nwakamma (11 ppg, 6 rpg, 1.5 spg, 35 blocks, 56% FG) and Abisayo Gbakinro (3 ppg, 2 rpg, 1 apg). Nwakamma is 6-foot-8 and a second-team, all-district pick from a year ago.
Keys to success for Mitchell’s team includes offensive rebounds, 32 minutes of pressure and playing at their pace. The Eagles motto for 24-25 is “Non-stop action from whistle to horn”.
