<!-- wp:paragraph --> <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 notable games for the upcoming season. For today's spotlight, we take a look at the Terre Haute North Patriots.</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 21-6 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to Lawrence North in Semistate</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Head Coach Todd Woelfle returns for his 18th year as head coach.

If the Patriots are going to make that run, they will do it mostly on the back of 2026 wing [player_tooltip player_id='1561105' first='Brady' last='Klopfenstein']. The 6'6 wing is one of the best pure shooters in the state and comes back as the leading scorer with 11.0 points put game as a junior. He has offers from schools at the NAIA and D1 level with opportunities to earn more here soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='2425772' first='Tyler' last='Renn']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/justin-kirby/"></a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1561105' first='Brady' last='Klopfenstein'] may be the guy that is going to do most of the heavy lifting this season, but junior wing [player_tooltip player_id='2425772' first='Tyler' last='Renn'] is gearing up for a big breakout season for the Patriots by the way things are trending. Last season, Renn was a strong contributor in the 21 games he appeared in with his 6.0 point per game showing his high upside as a player. At 6'5, Renn has a combination of size, length, athleticism, and ball skill that you simply cannot teach which allows him to be a very difficult matchup most of the time. A guy D1 potential, Renn is one to keep an eye on this season. </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='1561113' first='Cameron' last='Fennell']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1561104' first='Gavin' last='Woelfle']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2140323' first='Blake' last='Hammond']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2414953' first='Mason' last='Loyd']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notable Games (Complete Schedule Not Yet Available)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Parke Heritage (Gobbler Games)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Wabash Valley Tournament </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Southport</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Plainfield</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
