Last year's record: 9-11
Coach: Bill Cahill (8th season)
Key returnees: James Settipane, Sr., guard; Marty Nally, Sr., guard; Andrew Willwerth, Sr., forward; Brian Ciccone, So., center; Sam Cohen, Sr., forward; Ian Graham, Sr., forward; Joe Roy, Sr., guard; Kyle Donovan, Jr., guard.
Strengths: The Hornets bring back seven seniors who will provide the leadership. James Settipane (14 ppg) and Marty Nally (13 ppg) give Manchester Essex a quick backcourt with the ability to score.
Concerns: Aside from 6-foot-4 Brian Ciccone, the Hornets don't have a great deal of height, so they will have to rebound from every position. The team will also hope its football players can make a quick transition to the hardwood after a long fall season.
Coach's outlook: "We are looking to get back to the state tournament."
