Cabrillo College men's basketball coach Tony Marcopulos is entering his 20th season with the program and he is facing one of his biggest challenges yet.
It's the first time in more than a decade he'll be taking on such an inexperienced group that'll feature just two returners who last year saw limited playing time.
"Hopefully things will start to change and we'll start to grow and figure things out," Marcopulos said. "Right now my main concern is them getting through finals and studying."
The Seahawks are nearly done with final exams but there's still plenty for the young squad to study before the season fully kicks into gear when conference play begins next month.
Last year, the Seahawks finished with a 20-9 overall record and went 9-3 in Coast-South Conference play. They lost against Cañada College in the second round of the CCCAA NorCal playoffs.
It was the first time since the 2009-10 season that Cabrillo had not earned at least had a share of the conference title.
Cabrillo sophomores Gabe Mack and Hunter Seymour along with Myron Dews, a red-shirt sophomore, will return from last year's team. The other 11 players are freshmen.
