Summer Training Underway
The Arnold Marlins are in the second week of summer practices, having already hosted Lighthouse Christian and Bozeman in exhibition games. Last season the team posted a 16‑11 record, improving on a 14‑11 finish the year before, signaling steady progress as the roster settles into its new identity.
Coach William Woolf, now in his fourth year with the program, emphasizes a shift in culture that prioritizes collective commitment and a shared love of the game. His message to the players is clear: excelling on the court starts with dedication in practice and mutual respect off it.
Roster Changes and New Faces
The squad has lost several senior contributors, most notably Finn Lewis, who led the team in scoring last season. While the departure creates gaps, Woolf sees the transition as an opportunity for younger players to step up and for the team to develop depth beyond last year’s top performers.
Woolf’s focus on cultural change extends to how the players interact daily, fostering an environment where every practice is approached with purpose and every game is viewed as a chance to grow.
Orlando Shootout on the Horizon
Next week the Marlins will travel to Orlando to compete in a summer shootout that brings together some of the region’s strongest programs. The trip serves as a benchmark for the team’s progress and a chance to test the new-look lineup against high‑caliber competition.
