For today's spotlight, we take a look at the Hamilton Heights Huskies.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quick Hitters</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Finished 8-15 last season</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost to Delta in Sectionals.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Chad Ballenger returns for 17th season as head coach. 221-149 record. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Player: [player_tooltip player_id='1578475' first='Tillman' last='Etchison']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When it comes to the in-state 2024 class, Etchison is one of the more under-the-radar lead guards I strongly feel. While he is not the biggest lead guard, he is a tough, high IQ guard that creates his own shot off of the dribble, can knock down the pull-up, and is strong and athletic enough to compete. He is also a guard that that can put up a ton of points in a game and can get you a bucket when you need him to. He is coming to this season coming off of ankle surgery so it may take him a bit to get fully back into playing shape, but once he is able to return, he will be the lead guy for the Huskies. </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='2046164' first='Hayden' last='Spicer']</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 Noblesville (11/22)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>at Guerin Catholic (12/2)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>vs Tipton (12/26)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>at Westfield (2/9)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
