High School Spotlight: Penn Kingsman

<!-- 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 </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 18-7 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to South Bend Riley in Sectionals</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Head Coach Barak Coolman starts his 4th year as head coach.

When you lead your team in nearly every major statistical category, there's little debate about who the focal point is, and that's exactly the case with 2028 guard [player_tooltip player_id='2457404' first='Caleb' last='Coolman']. Coming off an outstanding spring and summer, Coolman has firmly put himself on the radar of Division I programs across the country thanks to his versatility and all-around playmaking ability. He returns after averaging 21.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game last season, and enters the year as one of the premier prospects in Indiana's 2028 class. With his ability to score, facilitate, and impact the game in multiple ways, Coolman will once again be the engine that makes Penn go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='3605266' first='Josh' last='Sanderson']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm telling you, Indiana's 2030 class is shaping up to be a special one, and [player_tooltip player_id='3605266' first='Josh' last='Sanderson'] is a big reason why I'm so high on it. Sanderson is expected to step in immediately and be a major contributor for Penn this season despite being just a freshman. He'll primarily play off the ball, giving the Kingsmen a true floor-spacing, knockdown shooting threat alongside [player_tooltip player_id='2457404' first='Caleb' last='Coolman']. Sanderson has one of the purest shooting strokes in the class and the confidence to score in bunches. He is a high-upside prospect with the potential to produce some huge scoring performances during his first season of varsity basketball and should quickly establish himself as one of the top freshmen in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Key Roster Members</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Makale Price</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2882158' first='Caden' last='Armour'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2560413' first='Sean' last='Kashoko']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jershurun Patten </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mi'Kell Burton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
