12 -- WESTFIELD MUSTANGS
The Westfield Mustangs will be playing for more than each other this season... they will be playing for coach Billy Goffney, who suffered a brain aneurysm in September.
Coach Rueben Stiff will be the interim coach this season to calm the waters.
“If the kids didn’t have anything to play for before, now they do,” Stiff said. “We are dedicating the season to Coach.”
The Mustangs will turn to big-man Jeremiah Cooper, among others.
“Jeremiah is a three-year starter, who is an all-around player,” he said. “He can control the paint and dominate on offense.”
Jayvion Mitchell comes over from Legacy Sports Science and will also provide scoring, while Jordan Francis will run the offense from the PG spot.
Kameron Lewis is a lethal three-point shooter, while Jacob Massie will also play a bigger role as a senior.
“What we’ve always been known for is our defense, of course,” Stiff said. “We are going to be up-tempo on offense and play that ‘Ella Boulevard’ defense.”
