As the calendar quickly turns and teams begin to ramp up for their season's to begin in early March, we begin our coverage of the Maryland JUCO Conference with a preseason preview of all fourteen schools. In each preview, we will examine key players that return and those that have moved on or left the program, look at new faces, and finally take a sneak peak at what's ahead for the 2022 season. Today we continue our preseason previews with a look at the CCBC Dundalk Lions.

2022 Season Preview From Coach Backert

"For the second straight year we will be a young team. Most of our top players will be new players. I am projecting a starting lineup of just 3 returning starters from 2021. We had a great fall season and our guys are working extremely hard to get ready for the spring season."
