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 outside the city of Louisville. They are presented in alphabetical order.
Ashland Blazer: Coming off an undefeated 2019-2020 season, the Tomcats bring back almost their entire roster and added a post transfer in Sean Marcum Sean Marcum 6'8" | C Ashland Blazer | 2021 State KY . Cole Villers Cole Villers 6'2" | SG Ashland Blazer | 2022 State KY , Colin Porter Colin Porter 5'11" | PG Ashland | 2022 State KY , Ethan Hudson Ethan Hudson 6'3" | SG Ashland Blazer | 2020 State KY and Ethan Sellars Ethan Sellars 6'1" | SG Ashland Blazer | 2022 State KY were all double figure scorers last season. Coach Mays has bulked up the schedule for 2021 and they appear ready to be state title contenders.
Bowling Green: Likely the best team (on paper) in all of western Kentucky, they have all kinds of depth. Turner Buttry Turner Buttry 5'11" | PG Bowling Green | 2022 State KY and Conner Cooper Conner Cooper 6'0" | CG Bowling Green | 2021 State KY hold down the backcourt while Isaiah Mason Isaiah Mason 6'4" | SF Bowling Green | 2021 State KY , Trace Flanary Trace Flanary 6'5" | SF Bowling Green | 2021 State KY and Jaxson Banks handle the wings. In the post, Jacobi Huddleston Jacobi Huddleston 6'8" | PF Bowling Green | 2021 State KY is back and the coaching staff expects 5 star tight end Jordan Dingle to be back on the court after missing last season with an injury.
George Rogers Clark: Leading scorers Jerone Morton Jerone Morton 6'3" | SG George Rogers Clark | 2023 State KY and Jared Wellman Jared Wellman 6'4" | SF George Rogers Clark | 2021 State KY are back. Transfer Junior Aden Slone Aden Slone 5'9" | PG George Rogers Clark | 2022 State KY should allow Morton to play off the ball more. Junior Trent Edwards has sprung up to 6’7 and can score the ball all over the court. Most of the rest of the Junior class made up a very successful JV team last season and should provide depth behind Morton, Wellman and Slone.
Lexington Catholic: Mr. Basketball favorite Ben Johnson Ben Johnson 6'3" | CG Lexington Catholic | 2021 State KY is the main name on the roster but don’t sleep on the depth the Knights have coming back. Junior Jack Gohmann Jack Gohmann 6'3" | SG Lexington Catholic | 2022 State KY joins Johnson in the backcourt while Sophomores Hudson Sparks Hudson Sparks 6'5" | SF Lexington Catholic | 2023 State KY and Reece Potter are going to give Coach Salsman some size they have lacked in recent years. Ryan Russell can shoot the cover off the ball the 5 out offense they run is hard to guard.
Oldham County: Coach Z has probably the deepest team he’s ever had at Oldham. Seniors Deaton Oak Deaton Oak 6'3" | SG Oldham County | 2021 State KY , Tyler Slone Tyler Slone 6'5" | SF Oldham County | 2021 State KY , Sam Campbell Sam Campbell 6'0" | PG Oldham County | 2021 State KY and Xander Wagner-Rose Xander Wagner-Rose 6'7" | PF Oldham County | 2021 State KY all come back as double digit scorers last season. Juniors Sam Powell Sam Powell 6'7" | PF Oldham County | 2022 State KY and Hayden Burgess Hayden Burgess 6'10" | PF Oldham County | 2022 State KY are going to provide serious front court depth. If they can develop some guard depth behind Oak and Campbell, these Colonels could make a run to a state title.
