A quartet of returnees anchors the lineup for Roy-Hart which is looking to rebound from last year’s 2-10 Niagara-Orleans League basketball campaign,

Seniors Reed Albee and Canyon Wood along with junior Peyton Rhinehart and sophomore Gavyn Boyle will lead the way for Roy-Hart  which lost a trio of starters to graduation including Charlie Brigham, Lance Krieger and Charlie Bruning.

“We’ve got four guys back and only a total of nine on the squad so they all will play and they all will have roles. There is no weak link,”  said Coach Joe Pawlak.  “We’ve got good size and it’s really a balanced group.”

The Rams squad also includes juniors Jon Gillings, Rhett Goodwin and Tommy Ragonese along with sophomore Aiden Petrie and freshman Jamel Johnson Jr.

Roy-Hart will host MST Seneca on Thursday in the non league opener and begin N-O competition at home against Albion on December 12.
