Noon — Largo Lions Trying to Improve on Undefeated Regular Season

As the month-old article states, Largo's boys basketball team is going to have trouble after losing Maurice Sutton (Villanova) and the majority of their team to graduation.

In the "not a good sign department," even Largo forward Malik Thomas admits they could have a tough season in 2008-2009: " ‘‘Guys just aren’t getting in the gym,” Thomas said. ‘‘The whole time that we’ve been here, our coaches have stressed hard work. As players, we have to reiterate the point to ourselves and get out and work hard. I think we’re real close to being a good team, but it’s been tough. We need the leadership of all of our returning players since we have a lot of guys who have just come up from [junior varsity].”

Another bad sign, "...the Largo ball-handlers struggled to get across the court without a turnover..."

Coach Lou Howard could have his work cut out for him.
