For today's spotlight, we take a look at the Eastern Greene Thunderbirds. </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 12-11 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to Linton in Sectionals. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Jamie Hudson starts his 8th year as head coach.

Hudson is a 6'1 shooting guard that has a great feel for the game and can make plays in a multitude of ways. He returns as one of the top players production wise averaging 15.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game as a sophomore last season. He had a little bit of an injury back in the summer but should be full go as the season gets underway soon. An all-around playmaker that can do a bit of everything on the floor, expect Hudson to have a breakout season. <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jaece-vogt/"></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Key Roster Members</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aiden Deckard</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3787058' first='Grady' last='Callison']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2622250' first='Coby' last='Sykes'] - Returning leading scorer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Noah Coomer</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saxton Pennycuff</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2821038' first='Dylan' last='Kirkwood']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Evan Pate</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Patrick McGee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carter Bailey</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Briley Williams</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
