At the beginning of the season, Gunnery’s goal was much higher than winning the NEPSAC Piatelli/Simmons Small School tournament.
With high-scoring wing Alex Jefferies returning for his senior season and a solid cast around him, Gunnery envisioned another run at the Elite 8.
Inconsistency and a lack of depth, caused in part by some players leaving school over the summer, kept Gunnery outside the coveted top eight.
