Each of the past two seasons have ended in disappointing fashion for very talented, but young McEachern teams.
This season, a now senior-laden group has all the talent and experience needed to get over the hump and capture the schools first ever Georgia state championship.
The Indians return a lot of familiar faces, led by AJC.com Class AAAAAAA first team All State selection Okoro and 5-star junior guard Cooper.
Okoro and Cooper will once again be joined by talented big man Jones and key role players McElroy and Breed.
McEachern will certainly be battle tested when it enters state tournament play after trips to the City of Palms Classic, Bass Pro Tournament of Champions, and top 25 match-ups with Findlay Prep, Imhotep Charter and Ranney.
Look for this season to be different for an experienced group with all the talent needed to capture its first state crown in Georgia's toughest classification this season.
