Team Profile

The Dolphins had an impressive 23-8 season last year, falling short of their championship goal and losing in the Illinois state elite eight. Coach Tyrone Slaughter has a strong, young foundation, and will look to follow the standard set by six returning seniors, two of whom were starters last season. The team is led by one of the top players in the state, Antonio Munoz, a 6’6 junior forward/wing, and by Damajay Richardson, a 6’0 junior guard, and Sean Brown, a 6’0 senior guard. All are looking to return to the big stage this year and redeem themselves. Other contributors include Rykan Woo, a 6’1 sophomore guard, Cole Pruitt, a 6’4 senior guard, and Marquis Clark, a 6’2 sophomore guard.
