Altoona hopes to play fast and score points
Nov. 20—ALTOONA — Despite having some admitted challenges, Altoona's boys' basketball team hopes to leap up in the standings of the Middle Border Conference this season.
"Our biggest challenge this year will be rebounding. We have a lot of guards that wanna play fast, so we will have to find ways to rebound with our lack of size," Altoona boys' head basketball coach Paul Henrichs told the Leader-Telegram.
