2017-18 season preview: Last season was a bit of a rebuilding year for the Elgin Public/Pope John boys, but by the end of the year coach Michael Becker and crew showed plenty to build on in 2017-18.

The Wolfpack bring back four players with significant starting experience. The likes of Ashton Evans, Hunter Reestman and Kyle Schumacher will be the leaders for a large Wolfpack team with a lot more depth than last season. If EPPJ can develop a consistent post presence, they could be in for a strong 2017-18 season.
