Spencer Bradley Matheny- Looking to take the next step in the PRO division after winning the league Sportsmanship award last year. Chris Farmer- Rookie coach, probably knows more players in the draft than anyone, will make an immediate impact. Tyler Brosher- Rookie coach, looks to use the tools he learned from his father and compete for a championship in his first season. College Division captains: JonandMandy Grow- Probably the most talented of the college captains, if he gets the #1 pick, it could be decided on draft night. Kenny Estep- going through offseason workout program guaranteeing to avg 20 & 10 this year. K Eugene Workman- After drafting his boys last year and being preseason ranked last by the other coaches, he used tough defense to finish the season in the middle of the pack. Tim Lash- Last seasons #1 pick was selected by him, now hes hoping the ping pong balls come his way again this year. Brad Matheny-Rookie coach in the PPBL, but dont let that fool you, he was part of the league championship last year and undoubtedly learned a lot from coach Nate Popovich. Jake Thomas- Another Rookie coach and not the Jake from State Farm, but the one who is booking gyms all across east central Indiana everynight looking for talent to draft this season. Kailor Padgett- He took a chance on a one-armed former league MVP last year and rode him through the first few weeks of the season knowing he would be a force in the tourney, thats exactly what happened. Rob Padgett- My draft ideas didnt work for me last year, after coming off a previous league runner up finish, but ill be back this year, and even if I fall to the same demise, well go down with the league best unis. Gonna be a great season...glad youre a part of it!
