Harlan Cyclones Basketball Prepares for New Season Under Osborn
As Harlan's Boys Basketball prepares for a new season, Coach Mitch Osborn, entering his 29th year, faces fresh challenges with new leaders stepping up. Can the Cyclones bounce back from last year's struggles? Discover the team's hopes for a successful season!
Harlan's Boys Basketball Head Coach Mitch Osborn is set to embark on his 29th season at the helm, bringing his total coaching experience to an impressive 41 years. After a challenging previous season with a record of 12-10, the Cyclones will navigate this year without some key seniors.
Excitingly, players Josef Reisz and Ben Leinen are ready to take on leadership roles, with Reisz having started every game last season, averaging 6.8 points per game. Dallas McDowell will be stepping in as the starting point guard, supported by Kobe Klaassen and Caden Buck as starters.
This year, Osborn aims for a healthier squad, as last season was marred by injuries. The team is expected to face stiff competition in the Hawkeye Ten Conference, known for its toughness.
The Cyclones kick off their season on Friday, December 6, at Shenandoah. Harlan fans are eager to rally behind their team as they begin this new chapter under Osborn's seasoned leadership.
