High School Spotlight: Pike Red Devils

<!-- 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 Pike Red Devils.</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 23-4 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to Mount Vernon Fortville in Regionals </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Head Coach Jeff Teague starts his 4th year as head coach.

While the loss of 2027 guard Jahari Miller to the transfer portal is significant, there is no question who will lead this group. Purdue commit [player_tooltip player_id='2266896' first='Isaiah' last='Hill'] and 2028 standout [player_tooltip player_id='2538892' first='Landon' last='Lampley'] form arguably the best one-two punch in the state. Hill is an elite rim protector and interior presence who changes the game defensively, while Lampley is one of the most versatile scorers in the country for his class, capable of impacting the game from all three levels. With those two leading the way, Pike enters the season with a clear advantage against just about every opponent it will face.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='2266897' first='Kenneth' last='Lampley']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/isaac-pickel/"></a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are several 2027 prospects entering pivotal senior seasons, and [player_tooltip player_id='2266897' first='Kenneth' last='Lampley'] is certainly one of them. While he may not receive the same national attention as his younger brother, Landon, Kenneth has consistently proven to be one of the most productive forwards in the state, which is why he remains a top-six prospect in Indiana's 2027 class. With his combination of size, strength, and physicality, Lampley creates matchup problems for virtually every defense he faces. He has the ability to score in a variety of ways and impacts the game well beyond the stat sheet. On a Pike team loaded with talent, he is yet another player opposing teams will have to account for every time they step on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Key Roster Members</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3219509' first='Bles'sed' last='Thomas']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2414872' first='Aiden' last='Woods']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2958770' first='Timothy' last='Smith']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2955304' first='Ryan' last='Gold Jr']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2444554' first='Vanden' last='Garner']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
