With six of the top eight players back along with a solid recruiting class head coach Pat Miller has designs of capturing the WIAC title this season and making another run in the playoffs. It all begins Saturday night when the Warhawks open the season by hosting Beloit College in a 7: p.m. start at Kachel Gymnasium.
The Hawks are coming off a solid scrimmage last Friday vs. Elmhurst College out of the always tough College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin.
“It was a very physical scrimmage,” Miller told KOOL 106.5’s Gary Douglas on Monday night’s Warhawk Weekly radio show. “The play was much like what we’ll see in our conference this season.”
“I’m happy where we are going into the season with our inside game,” Miller said. “I think Darnell Harris and Reggie Hearn have both progressed very well. Miles Chamberlain and K.J. will get some time at the 4 (power forward) and those guys are all new to our program.”
“One of the strengths of our program is that we do a lot of different things – we show a lot of things offensively,” Miller said. “The guys that are new to the program are doing well but they still are in the process of getting a firm grasp on the system.”
According to Miller much in this week in practice will focus on getting the newcomers and returning veterans on the same page heading into Saturday night’s season opener.
