<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The High School Spotlight Series is back and we are excited to feature multiple teams throughout the state once again! With practices happening, it is the perfect time to start previewing the season. In this series, we will be taking a look at some quick hitters, the top player(s), a potential breakout player, other roster members, and notable games for the upcoming season. For today's spotlight, we take a look at the New Albany Bulldogs. </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 17-8 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to Jeffersonville in Sectionals.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Head Coach Jason Jones returns for his 2nd season as the head coach. 17-8 overall record.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Could make a major leap this season and compete in Sectional 15. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Player: [player_tooltip player_id='2276379' first='Chris' last='Lampkins']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most consistent forces on this New Albany team over the years has been senior forward [player_tooltip player_id='2276379' first='Chris' last='Lampkins'] and he returns for one last go around leading a very talented New Albany squad. He is one of the more naturally athletics wings we have in the state and has been a stock riser in the 2025 class for awhile now. He has elite playmaking off the bounce and is a guy that is just so productive. New Albany is looking to have a big season and Lampkins will be the face of it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='2382148' first='Noah' last='Washington']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It has been very rare that I have included any freshman in this category in this year's High School Spotlight but for the Bulldogs, it would have been extremely hard to not include one of the best freshman in the state, [player_tooltip player_id='2382148' first='Noah' last='Washington']. Incase you are not aware, Washington is one of the most hyped prospects in the 2028 class and is expected to be a major player throughout the state. At 6'5, Washington is an extremely athletic player that has a good combination of length and ball skill to go with it. Washington proved himself while playing up a year on the&nbsp;<a href="https://prephoops.com/program/indy-heat/"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat']</strong></a>&nbsp;15u EYBL squad through the summer and will continue to do so this year. All eyes need to be on him this year because he is going to be special. </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='2391235' first='Rylan' last='Schrink'] - Senior</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1578420' first='Jordan' last='Treat'] - Senior</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1563826' first='TJ' last='Washington'] - Junior</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2140373' first='Houston' last='Crick'] - 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>vs Bloomington South (11/30)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>vs Lawrence North (12/21)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>at Jeffersonville (1/20)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>vs Silver Creek (1/24)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>at Bedford North Lawrence (2/21)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
