TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE For the Demons of R J. Reynolds high school, making it to the championship game ill last years David Lash tournament was a welcome surprise as they were ranked 4th going in. Unfortunately for them they lost to E. Forsyth who took home the championship last season. This year head coach Mike McCulloch says he was happy that his team "over achieved" their rankings and hopes to do something similar this year as well. "This is a pretty strong group again," said McCulloch. "We might not be as tal ented or as big but they seem to work very well as a team. They are a good group to work with." McCulloch says that he plans to lean heavily on sophomore guards Devin Ingram and John Powers. He said he looks for them to be good leaders on the team especially with the experience they learned playing 9th grade basketball last season. When asked what would constitute a successful season McCulloch said, "any time I coach we have what I like to call a mythical conference championship. We are not playing in any tournaments for it and we aren't getting any trophies either but I think most of the coaches, me includ ed, keep track of how we're doing against other teams in the conference. Winning the CPC [Central Piedmont Conference] against the other JV boys teams would be an accomplishment." As of the time of the interview the Demons had yet to play a game. McCulloch said getting back to the finals would be great for his young team.
