UW-Fox Valley Men’s Basketball 2007-2008Men's Basketball Team 2007-2008 Season

UW-Fox Valley had an almost identical season from the year before at 10-12, but there is much excitement about this year's squad. This year the Cyclones have four returning players, eight new freshmen, and two new assistant coaches.

New Assistant Coaches this year are former UW-Fox Valley player William Greenwood II and former Hartford Union player and summer varsity coach Nicholas Frank.

Returning for the Cyclones is 2nd Team All Conference, Dylan Hein (Columbus), Michael Victoria (Appleton East), John Vermeern (Appleton East) and Andrew Harbath (Hortonville). The sophomores will be looked to for sound leadership on the court to execute the system put in place.

The Cyclones have a strong freshmen class this year. Brandon Acker (Pulaski), who earned 2nd team All Conference and All Area Honorable Mention in high school. Phil Brown (Appleton East) was a key contributor to a strong contending program in the Fox Valley Association.  Rick Wyngaard (Little Chute) earned Honorable Mention All Conference for two years in high school. Taylor De Bruin (Little Chute) brings size and a presence to the paint. Travis Krahn (Reedsville) was a team leader and one of the lead scorers on his respective high school team. Jordan Brocker (Kimberly) played with the team all summer and shows great athleticism. Chris Schneider (Berlin) and Vince Aslin (St. Mary's Central) are surprising walk-ons who look to show productivity on the court.

The team has prepared well for the upcoming season playing open gyms all summer, competing in a summer tournament, conditioning in the pre-season and had two two-a-day practices. The Cyclones hope to bring the intensity to the court and take the program to a championship level.
