More: Preseason Rankings Home: 50-1 | Rankings 72-51 | Preseason Preview Page
The Roswell Coyotes return after a (24-4, 7-0) season along with an Elite Eight showing.
Overview: One of the top head coaches in 5A basketball, and state for that matter, is head coach Britt Cooper. Cooper returns a talented roster again in the Coyotes with eight players that could create another deep run in March. Right now ranked 12th in the state and No. 2 in 5A basketball. Guard Chris Mesquita is one of the prospects to watch for the Coyotes, a 6-2 guard, who will be a name to watch this preseason.
Last Season
Record: 24-4, 6-0
Home Record: 11-1
Away Record: 10-1
Neutral Record: 3-2
Post Season: Elite Eight; Lost to Grants (76-71)
Points per game: - (1863)
Points against: - (1360)
Realistic Prediction: The Roswell Coyotes could go either way from another Elite Eight exit or stay atop the rankings reaching the Final Four or title game. Right now it's safe to say the will be one of the better teams in the classification and an Elite Eight at worst case scenario. Prediction wise we are going with a 20-26 category and Title Game expectations.
Chances
District Champ: 99%
Playoff Team: 100%
Elite Eight: 95%
Final Four: 90%
Title Game: 85%
Returning Players: On-top of Mesquita the Roswell Coyotes return Daniel Amador a wing that also found himself on the NMPreps.com Top 60 Player Rankings this summer. Both were big contributors last season to a 24-win team and will make the Coyotes dangerous in 2016.
