High School Spotlight: Hamilton Southeastern Royals

<!-- 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 Hamilton Southeastern Royals.</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 13-12 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to Noblesville in Sectionals. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Head Coach Bob Allen starts his first year at HSE.

Two of the most experienced players who will lead the Royals are seniors [player_tooltip player_id='1561009' first='Luke' last='Weemer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2398989' first='Maverick' last='Young']. Together, they return a combined 23.7 points per game and are the team's two leading returning scorers from last season. Weemer is one of the more versatile and physical wings in the state, while Young is a scrappy guard who can shoot the lights out of the ball. Together, these two could lead HSE to make big things happen this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player:&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='2559521' first='Varschon' last='Clark']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/ronald-mosley/"></a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A player in the 2028 class with some of the highest upside in that group is HSE's [player_tooltip player_id='2559521' first='Varschon' last='Clark'], who we believe could truly come into his own during his sophomore year. Clark is a 6'3" shooting guard who averaged 4.9 points and 2.3 rebounds per game at the varsity level as a freshman. He is a dynamic, athletic guard who competes on the defensive end and can also score above the rim off plays in the lane. The sky is the limit for him, and he has the potential to be the X-factor for this team.</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='2472620' first='Landon' last='Osswald']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1731836' first='Jack' last='Jacobs']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1561697' first='Kallen' last='Hoeft'] </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1731837' first='Kian' last='Kelly']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1561134' first='Jaxson' last='Wanza']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2470650' first='Alex' last='Weber']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2807671' first='Zach' last='Tansel']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
