Season outlook: East looks to be among the city teams that could compete once again with others across the state.

The Spartans add senior and Lincoln Northeast transfer Quin Weatherholt to the team, which will help the perimeter game. Barton and Dak could pose as problems for opposing teams close to the basket.
