For today's spotlight, we take a look at the Park Tudor Panthers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Quick Hitters</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Went 16-9 last season</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to Indy Scecina in Regionals </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>5-straigth winning season</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Tim Adams returns for 6th season as head coach. 73-38 overall head coach record. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Player: [player_tooltip player_id='1297034' first='Hudson' last='Horvath']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He may be one of the shorter guards in the 2025 class, but Horvath is best player for this Park Tudor team this season. He is an extremely tough guard and is also one of the more pure scorers in the in-state 2025 class and pairs it well with his overall skill. Horvath is an excellent ball handler, creates his own shot consistently off of the bounce, and can absolutely light it up from beyond the arc. He will be the leader of this Park Tudor squad and could see a breakout out year as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='1297074' first='Kelin' last='Mark']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mark has slowly been one of out stock risers in the 2025 class here at Prep Hoops. He is lanky, small guard but works well off the ball. He is a really smooth lefty that can make a defense pay if left open. Talented wise, he is one of the best players on this Park Tudor roster and as an upperclassman now, he should be in line to take that next step in his game. Lot of potential this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Important Roster Members</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1275906' first='Hayden' last='Souza'] - Souza returns as one of the senior leaders for this Panther squad. He has a smooth jumper and can be a real difference maker at the 2 guard. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1295384' first='Ben' last='Wilkerson'] - Wilkerson will be another one of the senior guards this season. Uses his athleticism and his quick first step to attack the rim and score it. He is also a high IQ player.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1578356' first='Cal' last='Bostic'] - Bostic was one of the few players I also thought about putting as the breakout player this season for Park Tudor. He comes in this season as the go-to post option for the Panthers and has a ton of upside to his overall game do to his size and skill. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1297067' first='Julian' last='Defrantz'] - Defrantz could see a role increase this season. 5'10″ guard that pushes it hard in transition and showed the ability to consistently get to the basket off of the dribble.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1297120' first='Turner' last='Schaming'] - Schaming is another player that could see take a big leap this season. 6'4" shooting guard that has a ton of athleticism and shoots the ball lights out from the outside. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notable Games (Confirmed)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>vs Parke Heritage (12/8)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>at Culver Academy (12/15)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>vs Bethesda Christian (1/19)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
