CORPUS CHRISTI (KIII SPORTS) — The St. John Paul II Centurions enjoyed a nice turnaround season in 2017 after not winning a district game the previous four years.
John Paul made the playoffs under then first year head coach Andrew Leon. The Centurions got a couple of district wins including a big come from behind victory over Victoria St. Joseph's that helped clinch their spot.
Now the Centurions return five on offense and six on defense, and coach Leon says there's even more of a sense of confidence surrounding his than there was last season.
John Paul opens the season at home next Thursday against the Taft Greyhounds.
