Juniors Returning from Injury

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are less than a month from the official start of basketball season and we will start inching towards our season preview material. I wanted to continue with some Juniors who are coming back from injury and looking to make a big impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2451397"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab56cbd45128"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mahorn has make a strong return to the court in recent months after over a year away due to an ACL tear suffered in June 2025. Khi is a strong guard who excels at getting to the rim and finishing through contact. It will be hard to knock off GRC in the 10th region but Montgomery will likely get 4 chances to beat the state champs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532054"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab56cbd451ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jeremiah missed his Sophomore season at Butler and is still not all the way back yet. Assuming Marshall gets cleared and is back to 100%, he can be an all district type of player for the Bears in their quest to return to Rupp Arena. With the size and athleticism that Marshall brings to the table, he can be a matchup problem for 6th region foes and provides some rim protection on defense as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2530802"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab56cbd4527b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beasley missed his Junior season with an ACL tear but has grown and somehow gotten more explosive after his injury. Perhaps the biggest X factor in the 8th region this season, Noah gives Anderson County a legitimate chance to compete for a regional title by the end of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3677106"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab56cbd45309"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dicken missed the end of last season with knee ligament issues but new Hills coach Chris Evans has a chance to get to the regional title with a healthy Dicken as well as [player_tooltip player_id='2383084' first='Preston' last='Clouse'] and freshman [player_tooltip player_id='3476004' first='Eli' last='Ferguson']. Matt is extremely left handed. Nearly every drive is left handed when he attacks but he's strong and has a high IQ and a great motor. I think Matt can be a sleeper prospect for high academic schools.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2360949"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab56cbd453d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perhaps the biggest X factor in the entire state resides at Male high school.Trey had been ranked as a top 100 player in the country by some outlets before an ACL tear last winter ended his season. Now back, Hillerich is on a mission to get his stock back where it was and then some. EKU offered the big man last week and there are plenty of other D1 schools sniffing around now that Trey is back on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
