Greyhounds hoping to ‘form an identity’

Monessen head coach Wade Brown doesn’t exactly know what to expect from his Greyhounds this fall.
They’re coming off a season in which they won four games and went 3-4 in Tri-County South Conference play. A three-game winning streak highlighted the month of September, but a four-game skid followed in October.
“We had a little bit of success last year, but we weren’t happy,” Brown said. “We felt like there were some games in there that we let go and we could have won.”
Entering his second season at the helm, Brown doesn’t know how many wins his team can get this season, but he wants to see them improve each week.
“Dealing with young kids, you never really know what to expect coming into a season,” Brown said. “We want to form an identity early on as to what we want to do and what we can do. We just have to develop as the season goes on.”
