Throughout an unusual offseason defined by uncertainty, App State men’s basketball has spent the past few months preparing themselves for anything. As the season quickly approaches, the Mountaineers are hopeful to maintain their highest level of play.
“It’s been challenging. With any normal season, we would have had things planned out up until our first game, but now we have to take a week by week approach,” head coach Dustin Kerns said. “We’ve got to control what we can control, and believe that nothing will break us.”
Though the team was unable to practice together for the majority of the offseason, and training work had to be done in small groups over the summer, the coaching staff said the players kept themselves disciplined and in shape.
