High School Spotlight: Chesterton Trojans

<!-- 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 more for the upcoming season. For today's spotlight, we take a look at the Chesterton Trojans.</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 15-9 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to Portage in Sectionals. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Head Coach Marc Urban returns for his 10th year as head coach.

The 6-foot-4 wing returns as Chesterton's leading scorer after a strong junior season that set the stage for a great offseason. Having recently committed to Taylor, Pokorney can shoot the lights out from deep and also create his own shot effectively from the mid-range. Expect this smooth scorer to have a strong senior year for Chesterton.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='2140448' first='Tobias' last='Ray']/[player_tooltip player_id='2125696' first='Malachi' last='Ransom']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/ronald-mosley/"></a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are a few players who will be looking to step up for the Trojans this season and have breakout years, and two we're especially high on are 2027 guards [player_tooltip player_id='2140448' first='Tobias' last='Ray'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2125696' first='Malachi' last='Ransom']. Both are expected to be among the players on this team who can provide playmaking both on and off the ball. Ray is a strong shooter from multiple spots on the floor, and Ransom is one of the quicker, shiftier guards you'll find in the northern part of the state.Expect breakout junior seasons from these two guards.</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='2252567' first='Jaylon' last='Watts']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2046162' first='Caden' last='Schneider']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
