The team that will be at Palamondo Wednesday, August 19, at 19.00, will be represented mostly by players "freshmen" from the High School that are being considered by the technical staff of Head Coach Steve Wojciehowski in his second year at the head of the team, Previously he was an assistant at Duke under the "myth" Mike Krzyzewski.
To follow the team there will also be representatives of the University and family members who have followed the group during this study tour and sport in Italy and by us in Switzerland.
