<!-- 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 Guerin Catholic Golden Eagles.</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 23-5 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to New Palestine in Regionals</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Head Coach Sam Gardner starts his tenure as new Guerin Catholic Head Coach. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Should be favorite to win Sectional 25. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Player:&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='2140383' first='Jake' last='Grissom'] <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jahari-miller/"></a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Guerin Catholic Golden Eagles will be a team that competes at a high level in Class 3A, and the leading man returning for them this season is junior point guard [player_tooltip player_id='2140383' first='Jake' last='Grissom']. The team's second-leading scorer from a season ago, averaging 12.8 points per game, Grissom will step into an even larger role for the Golden Eagles this upcoming season. As the primary ball handler, Grissom brings really good size to the backcourt along with high-level athleticism and explosiveness in the lane. Not only will he be looking for a breakout junior season, but he will also aim to help lead Guerin Catholic on a deep postseason run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player:&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='2137375' first='Carter' last='Murans']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/ronald-mosley/"></a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When it comes to pure, unlimited potential in the in-state 2026 class, Guerin Catholic wing [player_tooltip player_id='2137375' first='Carter' last='Murans'] may be at the top of that list. Last season, he averaged just over 3.0 points per game at the varsity level; however, this season his role will see a major increase as one of the main players on this squad. At 6'7", Murans is a highly athletic wing who can make plays both on and off the ball. He has a smooth jump shot and also possesses the ability to create off the bounce and finish above the rim. With Division I potential, Murans is definitely a player 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='2140371' first='Hayden' last='Rogers'] </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2410408' first='Alex' last='Wall']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2137317' first='Andrew' last='Riethman'] </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2402516' first='Jack' last='Linden'] </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2472282' first='Julian' last='Melendez']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
