Prime Time Players
ERIK MURPHY
Murphy is the premier big man in the state, capable
of scoring with his back to the basket or stepping out
and shooting a jumper. He has committed to play at
Florida next year.
BILLY MARSDEN
Marsden has developed a reputation as a go-to
scorer, thanks in large part to his performance in
the state tournament last year, when he led Central
Catholic to the Division 1 state championship.
CARSON DESROSIERS
Desrosiers is a defensive stopper in every sense of
the word. He's capable of blocking 10 shots on
any given night, and he recorded several tripledoubles
last season.
AKEEM WILLIAMS
Williams led the state in scoring last year playing at
Division 4 Avon, scoring more than 30 points per
game. His quickness and killer dribble moves
should play just as well at Winchendon.
Coach's Take
AN AREA COACH ON BILLY MARSDEN:
"He's the guy you don't want on the other side
during crunch time. He always seems to raise his
level of play. In the state tournament he took it to
another level, hitting shots and getting to the line
and carrying them offensively for stretches."
