TerryTalks: GBCALive Team Preview: Huntsville Panthers

Huntsville Panthers   Class 7A Area 7     Head Coach: Christian Schweers    Last Season Record: 32-2 (According to maxpreps.com)   IG: Pantherhoops   X: @HHSpantherhoops   Returning Starters:   Lost All 5 Starters   New Additions:   Tyson Bobik (6'1/PG/'28/Huntsville)   IG: tysonbobik   Tyson is a true floor general with a high IQ, and will bring vision, pace, and shot-making to the Huntsville backcourt. He excels in the pick-and-roll and is currently shooting 40% from beyond the arc this summer. His ability to create for others and make timely shots makes him a major asset in both transition and in the half-court.   [player_tooltip player_id='1958829' first='Travell' last='Lewis'] (6'0/G/'26/Huntsville)   Travell is the definition of loyalty and growth. After spending most of last season on JV, he stayed, worked, and earned his way into the starting lineup as a senior. He is an athletic guard with a quick first step, a relentless defender, and strong creator off the bounce. His motor and toughness set the tone for the Panthers' perimeter defense.   Key Players:   [player_tooltip player_id='2472355' first='Evan' last='Toms'] (6'9/PF/2027/Huntsville)   IG: evan.toms34   X: @EvanToms   Evan is a true post presence with great hands, footwork, and touch around the basket. He alters shots, controls the glass, and finishes strong inside. With his feel for the game and ability in pick-and-roll situations, Evan anchors both ends of the floor and continues to emerge as a future high-level frontcourt prospect. His stock has been on the rise across the country with his play this off-season.   [player_tooltip player_id='2472442' first='Hudson' last='Gossett'] (6'1/PG/'27/Huntsville HS)   IG: hudsongossett3   Hudson is one of the most accurate shooters in the state. He has knocked down 81 threes this June at an elite 45% clip over 24 games. He is a cerebral passer and improving defender, and he is quietly becoming a complete PG. Hudson had two 30+ point games this month, including an explosive 11-three performance that turned heads.   [player_tooltip player_id='2748353' first='Graham' last='Gossett'] (6'1/CG/'28/Huntsville HS)   IG: grahamgossett.0   Graham is the youngest of the Gossett brothers, and may be the most naturally gifted scorer. He can heat up quickly and scores in bunches from all levels. As he continues to add strength, his shot creation will become even more dangerous. He is currently shooting 37% from deep and projects as a high-volume scoring guard.   Key Role Players to Watch at #GBCALive:   Cam Carney (6'1/G/'26/Huntsville) and [player_tooltip player_id='1958829' first='Travell' last='Lewis'] (6'0/G/'26/Huntsville)   Both Cam and Travell are seniors who bring leadership, toughness, and a team-first mentality. While not high scorers, their ability to defend, move the ball, and make hustle plays are crucial to the Panthers' system. Expect them to be glue guys in critical moments.   What To Expect From The Panthers At #GBCALive:   The Panthers will come into #GBCALive with no deviation from who they are which is a high tempo high pressure team. They play fast and fearless. Offensively, they emphasize early offense, attacking in transition, hunting paint points, and launching threes without hesitation. With Toms inside and shooters on the perimeter, they spread the floor and create mismatches.   Defensively, they press full court, apply pressure, and aim to disrupt rhythm. Their depth and energy are designed to wear teams down over four quarters, creating separation with game-breaking runs.   #TerryTalks Bottom Line   Coach Schweers said it best, “It's about seeing this young, hungry group with Huntsville across their chest step up and compete against the best. It's about growth, chemistry, and playing the right way when the lights are brightest.”
