The Rock are well coached. Coach's son is PG and an 8th grade or 9th grader I believe. Good SG in Josh Snodgrass he can shoot from 3. Their best player is Vitas Sulkis who is 6'7 rangy. He has long arms can shoot the ball and take it to the basket. The Rock three years ago lost the majority of their games, but since then they have done a nice job recruiting European players to stay with host families. They'll be a tough matchup for Calvary.
