Continue ReadingThe high school season is still a few months away but with team workouts starting to take place, it is the perfect time to start previewing the season. In this series, we will be a look at some quick hitters, the top player, potential breakout player, other roster roster members and notable games of the upcoming season. For today’s spotlight, we take a look at the Scottsburg Warriors.
Quick Hitters
- Went 22-6 last season
- Lost to Guerin Catholic in Semi-State
- Return as one of the favorites to win Class 3A State
- Eric Richardson returns for 4th season. 44-33 record as head coach
Top Player: Wyatt Zellers
Zellers has become one of the top bigs in the state and comes back as the anchor for this Scottsburg team. At 6’9″, Zellers is a long and lanky built post prospect and is an excellent pick-and-pop threat. He rebounds it well in the post, but his shooting ability from the outside is what makes him a tough matchup for the defense. He is coming off sort of a breakout out summer that got schools such as IU East, Goshen, Bethel and many other all interested. He will have an excellent year for Scottsburg and could lead them to the State finals.
Potential Breakout Player: Jack Miller Jack Miller 6'5" | SG Scottsburg | 2024 State IN
The 2024 shooting guard is going to play a major role for the Warriors this season. At 6’5″, Miller is a bigger guard who creates real matchup problems for opposing defenders. He has the skill to score out on the perimeter and the size to punish smaller defenders on his way to the basket. His big junior season translated well into the summer where he became one of the stock risers in the in-state class. His numbers should see an increase from last year to this year as well.
Other Important Roster Members
- Kody Clancy Kody Clancy 6'4" | PG Scottsburg | 2024 State IN – Clancy is another player with high hopes for the Warriors this season if they want to make it to State. He is an under-the-radar prospect but plays an important role in the back court of Scottsburg. He has good size at 6’3″ as a point guard that can create his own scoring opportunities and has showcased playmaking abilities for others as well.
- Caden Richardson Caden Richardson 6'4" | SG Scottsbug | 2024 IN – When it comes to natural strength and size, Richardson provides all of that for the Scottsburg Warriors. Fought a little bit of an injury in the summer but will be fully healthy this season. He is the coach’s son so he does have that pressure, but he is going to provide some much physicality for Scottsburg all season.
