Outlook: Windham faces a bit of a rebuilding year after the loss of standouts like Curtis, Gilman and Hutchison. Still, they retain some experience, and can boast of other strengths as well: “We’ll rely heavily on our two seniors, Andrew Wing and Dierhow Bol,” says Pulkkinen. “They’ve both worked hard in the off-season to prepare themselves for the role they need to have on this team. Our team is blessed with a lot of size and length this year and taking advantage of that on both the offensive and the defensive end will be key. Our bigs will look to open up opportunities for our guards with potential mismatches on any given night. We’re a defensive-minded group and the ability to go deeper into our bench is something that is unique to this year’s team.”
