The sweet-shooting guard has one of the best pull-up games in the state and shot a shade under 50 percent from the field, including 50.4 percent from 3-point range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>BREAKOUT PLAYER:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1300316' first='Myles' last='Herro']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With Whitnall losing their top two scorers from last season, look for Herro to take the reigns of this program. Herro played in 15 games as a freshman, averaging just under four points per contest. He's more of a pass-first point guard with an excellent feel for the game. Put Herro in the pick n' roll and good things happen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SURPRISE PLAYER</strong>: [player_tooltip player_id='963147' first='Austin' last='Herro']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Herro missed most of his junior season due to injury. He came back in the spring and was well ahead of schedule. A smooth combo guard who can break down a defense with the dribble or the pass, Herro picked up a scholarship offer from Cal-Poly over the summer. If he can stay healthy, the Falcons have a chance to repeat as conference champs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
