SCHEDULE
ROSTER
Seth Aukema
Seth Aukema
“Disruptive defender with ability to change the game with his physicality, also lead his undefeated Hudsonville team with 17ppg.” – Coach Ingalls
Brogan Sherd
Brogan Sherd
“Quick hands, lights out shooter, who impacts the game with his ability to see things before they happen. Gets others open and gets multiple steals a game with anticipation.” – Coach Ingalls
Ky Berghuis
Ky Berghuis
“One of the fastest kids in the area, matches that speed with a quick pull up and can finish with both hands. Long frame for a guard, can create turnovers on the defensive end.” – Coach Ingalls
“Made the paper as the prettiest jumper in Northern Michigan, led his varsity squad in minutes, points, charges, steals, shooting almost 40% from deep and 85% from the stripe, one of the premier guards in 2026.” – Coach Ingalls
Highlights
“6’6 and growing, with a 185lb frame, will be dominant down low, but also sees the floor like a guard. Has old man footwork, with the strength to match. Will be a match up nightmare for every team we play all season. Loves to put the ball on the floor and bully his way to the rim.” – Coach Ingalls
Highlights
Cody Walters

“Corner 3 specialist, aggressive to the rim, and will spend time guarding the opposing teams best player. Willing to sacrifice his body to make the play!” – Coach Ingalls

“A soccer stud, dunking off both 1 foot and 2 foot approaches, he sees the open spaces on the court and attacks them with passing and driving. Can also get hot from deep. ” – Coach Ingalls
“Already a confident shooter who has a green light, is determined to make a difference on the defensive end of the floor. At 6’7 has the length to change shots and rebound with the best of them. In the middle of his growth spurt, could easily be a few inches taller by summer.” – Coach Ingalls
Connor Johnson
Connor Johnson
“Great length, dunks with ease, can put it on the floor, and step back and shoot it from deep. Gets his hands on deflections and alter shots. As he fills out his frame he will be a force for Coach Taylor at GRC.” – Coach Ingalls
COACH’S QUOTE
“
“We will most definitely have one of the longest 15u teams in Michigan and beyond. We have skilled guards, aggressive wings, and every player on our team can space the floor with shooting. Really solid kids too who will make a difference in their community off the court as well. Coach Ingalls is looking to reload after sending his entire class of 2023 team to the college ranks. “
