Continue ReadingThe 2020-21 season is less than 2 weeks away and we continue looking ahead to the year with season previews. Here’s a look at some of the most talented rosters inside the city of Louisville. They are presented in alphabetical order.
Ballard: At the guard spots, you’ve got Jack Edelen Jack Edelen 5'9" | PG Male | 2023 State KY and Gabe Sisk Gabe Sisk 6'5" | SG Ballard | 2023 #232 Nation CA-N leading the team. Big man Maker Bar Maker Bar 6'9" | C Ballard | 2022 State KY is back patrolling the front court and offering rim protection. Kennedy Hayden Kennedy Hayden 6'3" | CG Ballard | 2022 State KY should get a chance to see the floor a lot after waiting his turn for 2 years and DJ Tilford DJ Tilford 6'1" | SF Ballard | 2022 State KY should carve out a role for himself in his Junior season.
Eastern: The loss of James Jewell James Jewell 6'6" | PF Marion County | 2022 State KY looms large but the cupboard is not bare in Middletown. Junior Point Guard Christian Spalding Christian Spalding 6'4" | PG Evangel Christian | 2022 State KY will run the show again this season. Ben Craig Ben Craig 6'3" | PF Eastern | 2021 State KY is the unsung hero for the Eagles and Sophomore transfer Sosthene Kamba Sosthene Kamba 6'7" | PF Eastern | 2023 State KY will do his best to fill the role left by the transfer of Jewell. The Junior class of Charlie Storm Charlie Storm 6'1" | SG Fern Creek | 2022 State KY , Stacey Anderson and Chivion Ashby contribute guard depth and Sophomore Isaiah Cook Isaiah Cook 5'8" | PG Eastern | 2023 State KY should be able to play next to Spalding as well as give him breaks.
Fern Creek: Maybe the best roster in the city, even after losing Zek Montgomery to a prep school in California. Darrius Washington Darrius Washington 6'6" | PF Fern Creek | 2021 State KY , Jaden Rogers Jaden Rogers 6'1" | PG Fern Creek | 2021 State KY and Cearius Warren all have D1 level ability and athleticism. Darien Lewis Darien Lewis 6'1" | PG Fern Creek | 2022 State KY had a big summer and looks primed for a big season. Andru Markham Andru Markham 6'4" | SG Fern Creek | 2022 State KY is a capable replacement for Montgomery on the wing. If they get some bench production, the Tigers should be favored to win the 6th again.
Jeffersontown: J-Town continues to reload every offseason. Jaylen Fairman Jaylen Fairman 5'11" | PG Jeffersontown | 2021 IN is back for his second season running the team. Transfers Turrell Cleaves Turrell Cleaves 6'4" | SG Jeffersontown | 2022 State KY , Gage Mabry Gage Mabry 6'2" | SG Evangel Christian | 2022 State KY and Zavian Jackson Zavian Jackson 6'5" | SF Jeffersontown | 2021 State KY have big time upside. Wing Casey Steadmon Casey Steadmon 6'5" | SF Bethlehem | 2022 State KY should have a chance to breakout after a modest Sophomore year. The loss of Brandon Rayzer-Moore hurts but this is still a very talented roster.
Male: You’d think graduating a bunch of college players would set a program back but these Dogs just reload. Kaleb Glenn Kaleb Glenn 6'7" | SF La Lumiere | 2023 #64 Nation IN and Cam Pope Cam Pope 6'2" | CG Male | 2021 State KY are certified D1 players. Meechie White Meechie White 6'3" | CG Male | 2023 State KY , Kyran Tilley Kyran Tilley 6'1" | PG Evangel Christian | 2024 State KY and Jamal Chambers Jamal Chambers 6'2" | PG Fern Creek | 2023 State KY combine to be a really strong group of 2023 guards. Dez Lindsay Dez Lindsay 6'6" | PF Male | 2022 State KY is an X factor with his ability to score the ball inside and out. Trey Stone Trey Stone 6'2" | SG Male | 2021 State KY is one of the more underrated players in the city. Top to bottom, Male has just as much talent as last season.
