For today's spotlight, we take a look at the Bloomington South Panthers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Quick Hitters</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Went 15-11 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to Martinsville in Sectionals.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Head Coach J.R.

The 6'4″ wing is as good of a shooter as you'll find in the class which always is in vogue at the college level. Moutardier also has the requisite size and physical strength to attack closeouts, play through contact, and finish against size around the basket. If the Panthers want to make a run in the postseason, Moutardier is the guy that will lead them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='1561085' first='Matthew' last='Tierney']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Moutardier will be the playmaker on the wing, down in the post, the 6'8 [player_tooltip player_id='1561085' first='Matthew' last='Tierney'] will be the guy to watch for this season for the Panthers. Tierney moves around very well for his size. He can run the floor, operate on the roll, and get vertical as a rim protector defensively. As he continues to develop physically and get stronger his game could really take a leap to the next level. This could be a big breakout season for him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Key Roster Members</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1297119' first='Tucker' last='Simpson'] - Senior</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1297116' first='Taye' last='Spears'] - Senior</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1561042' first='Jack' last='Clark'] - Junior </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2470608' first='Duncan' last='Combs'] - Sophomore</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notable Games</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>at New Albany (11/30)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>vs Bedford North Lawrence (12/6)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lawrenceburg Tournament (12/27-12/28)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>vs Bloomington North (1/10)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>vs Silver Creek (2/1)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
