This year’s team is big, strong, fast and very physical. The schedule for 2009-2010 is very tough but NOVA may have the team this year to take on some of the top teams in the country.
NOVA has a blend many excellent returning players and very talented new players. This week NOVA will highlight two new players and one returning player.

Joe Scorah is a returning player, a DC resident and played High School ball at a private school in DC. Joe had some big games for the Raiders last season and is looking for more big games this season. Joe is a 6’3” 190 pound shooting guard with a great outside shoot, tough defender and great leaper. Joe had many spectacular dunks last season.

Jermaine Wright is a transfer student and is on track to earn an associates degree this academic year. Jermaine has all the tools for success on the court. Jermaine is a 6’5” 195 pound shooting guard with great ball handling skills, deadly three point shot and a strong rebounder. Jermaine is one of the strongest finishers on the team with a willingness to dunk on anybody.

Cordero Holt at 6’7” and 190 pounds is an incoming freshman. Cordero can knock down the three pointers with NBA range, can take the ball to the hole with authority usually dunking in the face of anyone trying block it and has better that average ball handing skills. As a shooting guard Cordero is going to cause many mismatches for the opposing team’s defense.
