Oakton Raiders Set for 2004-05 Basketball Season
The Oakton Community College men's basketball team will be a young but talented team in the coming season, says head coach Rick Kilby. Of the 15 players on the Raiders' roster, 13 are freshmen.
"Our strengths are we are quick, athletic, and play with intensity," says Kilby. "The key is going to be how fast our players adjust to the college game."
Providing experience are sophomores Mario Lipski, a 6-7 center from DeKalb High School, and Justin Noll, a 6-2 forward from Ombudsman High School. Lipski was a starter as a freshman but is coming off a knee injury and Noll saw action in 12 games last year for the Raiders.
Freshmen expected to make valuable contributions this season are Marcus Kardos, a 6-2 guard from Glenbrook North High School and Troy Johnson, a 6-4 guard from Evanston Township High School.
The Raiders embark on the 2004-05 campaign 7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 9 when they host Trinity International. Conference play starts Jan. 11 when Oakton hosts Elgin at 7 p.m.
Kilby reached a milestone last season picking up his 300th career win as a head basketball coach. Of those wins, 218 have come at Oakton.
