Head Coach Ledoux's Roster is Complete and Stacked with Height

Head Coach Ledoux's Roster is Complete and Stacked with Height

After recruiting and traveling across the nation to find missing pieces for the men's basketball team, Head Coach Kevin Ledoux and his coaching staff have found all of the players needed to complete their Sharks 2017-18 roster. After finishing the 2016-17 season 10-19, Coach Ledoux and his staff created their roster from scratch (with the exception of three players). The players on MDC's roster are predominately young; nine out of the thirteen players are freshman. The remaining players are sophomores. Three of the sophomores are returners (Elijah Hill, Luis Rivera, and Cedric Belemene) and two are transfers.
