He is a highly recruited small college point guard that has excellent physical tools, is very strong, and is under control at all times when handling the ball. Has a great motor and is just not afraid to attack the defense, its almost his go-to move. Expect a strong ending to his high school career here at Leo. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='1578478' first='Trey' last='Hiteshew']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hiteshew is another senior guard here that is going to produce for Leo all season long. He can be a lights out shooter from behind the arc, very quick and tough. While he can play on the ball, he is at his best off the ball where he makes great cuts to the basket and gets to his spots. Aggressive on the defensive end as well. Lot of potential this season for Hiteshew. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Important Roster Members:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1276604' first='Eli' last='LaGrange'] </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notable Games (Confirmed)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>at Fort Wayne Concordia (11/22)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>at Fort Wayne Wayne (11/29)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>vs Homestead (12/19)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Fort Wayne Blackhawk (2/20)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
