While Owen Suntken will be the main go to for the Melcher-Dallas Boys Basketball Squad, Coach John Suntken expects his teammates to step up and help out. Suntken tells KNIA Sports that so far in the week or so of practice, he is seeing a few of the other starters and role players make improvements from last season.

Suntken: “I am really and excited, Trevor Raab has look good in practice and Johnny Milburn has stepped up his game, and they looking good, and we’ll see how fun it’s going to be this year.”

Johnny Milburn scored just under three points per game last season and grabbed 30 rebounds as a freshman, while Trevor Raab got spot duty last year. Melcher-Dallas will host Pleasantville at Southeast Warren High School on Tuesday as part of the girl/boy double header.
