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 South Bend St. Joseph Huskies.</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 21-5 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost in Regionals last year.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Head Coach Eric Gaff starts his 6th year as head coach.

He returns as the team's leading scorer after averaging 19.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game last season. He will also enter this season with offers from Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan, Evansville, Western Michigan, and many more. A true Indiana All-Star candidate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='2991460' first='Peyton' last='Miamba']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jaxson-delaney/"></a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top players in the in-state 2027 class when it comes to having a full-on breakout season is [player_tooltip player_id='2991460' first='Peyton' last='Miamba'], who will once again be a strong piece for the Huskies this season. Last season, Miamba averaged 13.0 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, but you can fully expect those numbers to take a jump as he steps into an even larger role. Miamba is a fluid athlete who brings two-way versatility to the floor. Look for him to take a lot of pressure off [player_tooltip player_id='2140359' first='Elijah' last='King'] this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Key Roster Members</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2129321' first='Drew' last='Dixon']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2434102' first='Donovyn' last='Williams']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3686537' first='Markiss' last='Northern']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aidan Rowell</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gustas Peciulis</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dominic Logan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jabri Banks</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Conor Gallagher</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trevor Bowles</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marqus Philips</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
