2019 Men's Basketball Preview

PAXTON, MA - The Anna Maria men's basketball season is not far off as the squad kicks off the season Saturday, November 9 at 4 PM at Babson College. The 'Cats will look to build off last season's 7-18 record and compete for a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) playoff spot.

WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO

Top scorers, Mike Rapoza (Charlton, MA) and Bobby Perette (Marshfield, MA) return for the AMCATS after leading the team with 17.4 and 15.1 points per game respectively.
Rapoza was the only AMCAT last season to average a double-double (17.4 points, 11.8 rebounds).
Head Coach, Shawn Conrad needs four more GNAC wins to become the second coach in Anna Maria men's basketball history with 100 conference wins (Paul Philips, 103).
Kennedy Minix-Rogers (Smyrna, GA) and his 3.9 assists per game return to help pace the AMCATS offense.
Seniors John Dombrowski (Leominster, MA), Joseph Holmes (Shirley, MA), Perette, and Rapoza will be relied upon to help guide Anna Maria throughout the season.
