To win in the Shore Conference Class A South division, a basketball team needs a solid backcourt and a couple of guys who can bang inside with the big boys. Fortunately, Southern Regional has most of those elements, albeit many of them will be new to playing significant varsity minutes.

“We’re going to be leaning on an experienced backcourt,” said head coach John Pampalone, whose Rams last winter ran off 10 wins in its first 11 games before finishing 10-4.
