Terry Sanford brought 8 to the 3A Mideast Region in 2021 and 6 of those return for another run in 2021-22. State Placer Christian Coto and State Qualifier Memphis Naugle have both graduated, but TS returns a solid squad that is primarily Junior-heavy. Seniors Katherine Sullivan, Ethan Taris, Noah Stamp, Exzavier Pickering, and Nathaneal Patrick figure to lead the way, but it will be on much of the Junior class to have an impact on how well the Bulldogs compete this season.
Walker Wilkins, Soulemane Morgan, Cole Sgro, Kameron Ladd, Muhammudali Rajabi, Jacob Pranka, and John Fuda figure to play a significant role in the success of the program this season. Keep an eye on freshman Troy Shannon as well as Sophomores Cody Leach and Vincent Gugliotta. Who in this lineup will step up and fill the void left by the graduation of Coto and Naugle?
“I expect this large Junior group to make a huge jump this year. This group is one of the largest and hardest working groups I have had. With some great leadership, I believe TS will make a statement in this new conference. ”
