“Gavin [Crawford] has a good shot and makes getting to the basket look easy,” said Head Coach Runyon. “Expecting big things from him!” Gavin Crawford was excellent in June, scoring 23 points against USJ in a single game.
“Cade Allen is all-athlete, and he is sure to make some big shots for us this season,” shared Coach Runyon.
Allen missed his entire freshman basketball season with injury, so he will be making his high school varsity debut this winter. Allen also plays baseball and football.
“Richard Addo (2026) has a smile that lights up any room and a great personality— oh yeah, he can hoop a little, too! Looking forward to great things from Richard,” said Head Coach Runyon. “This past year has been good to Richard. He is taller, longer, bigger, faster, and stronger. He is shooting better than he ever has and is always active when he is on the court.”
“Excited to see what Tommy Baker does this season,” shared Head Coach Runyon. “He is one of the two returning starters from last season’s Sub-State team and the next three seasons should be a lot of fun watching him grow. [Tommy Baker] leads a very strong sophomore class that we are expecting big things from this season and beyond.”
