Lincoln Northeast Rockets

Head Coach: Monte Ritchie (7th Year)

2023-24 Record: 9-14

Returning starters/letterwinners: Easton Switzer, 6-1, jr., guard; Marshawn Jefferson, 5-10, jr., guard; Mo Abdalla 6-3, sr., forward/guard; Grant Fredericks, 6-3, jr., guard; Hayden Tenopir, 6-2, jr., guard.

Season Outlook: Northeast adds one key player (Houston) to their line up this season.  Houston, who started his career at Northeast and spent the past two seasons as a starter at Lincoln North Star, could help provide spark to the Rockets in the back court.  There’s improved roster depth with this year’s Northeast team, which includes plenty of varsity experience.  The Rockets could be one of the more improved teams in Lincoln and Class A.
