OUTLOOK:
A skilled big man, Pittsburg 6’5 forward Marquee English was the Kansas 5A state player of the year and is slated to attend Link Prep next year. Trenton Austin is a strong, physical forward who is capable of throwing down powerful dunks and is an active player. Gannon Kenney is a skilled 6’4 forward who was an All-Mid Lakes player last season. Girard 6’3 Caleb Muia averaged 21.3 points and 11 rebounds per game last season, while Lamar 6’6 forward Truman Kaderly is long and active.
On the 16U squad, Webb City 2020 standout Terrell Kabala is returning from a year ending injury. When healthy, he is an elite athlete capable of playing above the rim and bringing a diverse skill set to the floor. Also in the mix is 6’2 Joplin standout Zach Westmoreland, a standout on the football field and an athlete capable of playing above the rim, while Golden City 5’10 guard Arlo Stump has been a big scoring guard at a small school.
