Hapoel Jerusalem held its season-opening press conference yesterday and new coach Guy Goodes wasn't shy about the team's goals for the upcoming season. "We're setting the bar high. We want to reach the Final Four and challenge for a championship and also want to claim the State Cup," said Goodes, who has already guided the team to the Winner Cup last week. Club chairman Danny Klein was also optimistic. "We've been through a tough summer, but eventually we built a good team which can achieve success."
