Chelsea Hornets — Fast, Fearless, and Focused.

Chelsea High School   Class 6A Area 8    Head Coach: Nick Baumbaugh   Last Season Record: 13-18 (According to maxpreps.com)   IG: chelseaboysbb   X: @chelseaboysbb   Key Players:   [player_tooltip player_id='2726884' first='Jordan' last='Garcia'] (6'2/CG/'27/Chelsea) 5   IG: @Jordangarcia42   Jordan plays with a confident scoring mentality and is a threat to put points on the board from anywhere on the floor. He is explosive with his first step, which allows him to create separation both offensively and defensively. His vision and passing ability round out his game, making him a true combo guard who can lead or finish possessions effectively.   Brandon Griffith (6'5/Wing/'26/Chelsea)   IG: Brandon_griff2514   Brandon provides perimeter spacing as a reliable three-point specialist and uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end. His communication and encouragement make him a key locker room presence and tone-setter for team culture.   Evan Moller (6'2/Wing/'26/Chelsea)   IG: ev_moller   X: @evmoller   Evan sets the standard with his work ethic and leadership. He consistently plays with high energy, sees the floor well, and contributes in a variety of ways. His effort and team-first mentality elevate the entire group.   Key Role Players to Watch:   Truitt Jennings (6'0/PG/'28/Chelsea)   After seeing valuable minutes as a freshman point guard, Truitt steps into a starting role this season. His development since last year has been impressive as he is poised, plays at a good pace, and shows the ability to create for others or knock down his own shot. He is a true hidden gem in the Class of 2028.   Sean Flynn (6'5/Wing/'27/Chelsea)   Sean is a  transfer who will make an immediate impact. He brings a versatile skill set with the ability to handle, shoot, and finish through contact. With this being his first year of high school basketball at this level, expect him to surprise opponents early with his combination of size, touch, and motor.   Returning Starters:   [player_tooltip player_id='2726884' first='Jordan' last='Garcia'] (CG/11th Grade)   New Additions:   Ace Nelson (PG/9th Grade)   Sean Flynn (Wing/11th Grade)   Bradley Faulkner (SG/11th Grade)   What To Expect From The Hornets This Season:   The Hornets are looking to push the tempo and score in transition, using their athleticism and guard play to keep opponents on their heels. When the game slows down, they have the discipline to execute in the half-court and make teams grind defensively. On the other end, Chelsea's defensive identity is built on making opponents take tough, contested shots and finishing possessions strong.   What Will It Take for The Hornets To Win State?   To make a deep postseason run, Chelsea will need to navigate a tough area and stay composed in high-pressure moments. Ball security and execution on both ends will be critical. If they can maintain consistency and close games with poise, this group has the talent and balance to make noise come tournament time.
