The Simpson Storm men’s basketball team returns three of their top scorers from last year’s squad, and have been given the respect of other coaches across the American Rivers Conference as they are picked to finish second in the preseason poll. Connor Riordan (Reardon), Adam Reiter (right-er) and Kyle Wagner are all-conference returners for the Storm, who finished last season with a 16-10 overall record and league mark of 9-7, including a league tournament semifinals appearance. The Storm open up the season on Friday, Nov. 8 with an away game at Bethany Lutheran.
