<p>The High School Spotlight Series is back and we are excited to feature multiple teams throughout the state once again! The season is still a few months away, but it is never too early to look ahead at the high school season. We will be taking a look at some quick hitters, the top player(s), a potential breakout player, other roster members, and more for the upcoming season. For today's spotlight, we take a look at the Pike Red Devils.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Player(s): [player_tooltip player_id='2266896' first='Isaiah' last='Hill']/[player_tooltip player_id='2194328' first='Jahari' last='Miller']</h2>

<p>There are high expectations for the Pike Red Devils this season and the two guys that will step into the leaders for them will be 2027 prospects [player_tooltip player_id='2266896' first='Isaiah' last='Hill'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2194328' first='Jahari' last='Miller'] -- both top 5 players in that instate class. Both Hill and Miller have some of the best chemistry between a big and guard with them playing together both for Pike and for [program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat'] winning 16u Peach Jam this summer. Together, they bring back over 25.0 point per game and each of them have a host of D1 schools that are recruiting them. With Hill's elite shot blocking ability and Miller's fantastic playmaking, the Red Devils are serious contenders at the Class 4A level. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='2538892' first='Landon' last='Lampley']</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Very rarely do we put arguably the No. 1 prospect in the 2028 class as a "potential breakout" player, but this is going to be the year people really start to get familiar with [player_tooltip player_id='2538892' first='Landon' last='Lampley']. He and his older brother Kenneth took last year off after attending Lawrence Central but have since transferred over to Pike, where they helped them become contenders in Class 4A. [player_tooltip player_id='2538892' first='Landon' last='Lampley'] is one of the more athletic, versatile guards you will see this season with D1 schools at the highest level already recruiting him. He is going to be fun to watch this season. </p>
