High School Spotlight: Anderson Indians

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The High School Spotlight Series is back and we are excited to feature multiple teams throughout the state once again! The season is still a few months away, but it is never too early to look ahead at the high school season. 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 </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 21-3 last season.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lost &nbsp;to Mt.

Bowling III was the lone freshman starter for Anderson last season and returns after averaging 9.2 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. You can easily expect him to be the team's leading scorer this year. At around 6'5”, Bowling III is one of the more intriguing prospects in the 2028 class, showcasing length, on-ball shot creation, and athletic ability. Not only is he poised for a breakout season on a bigger stage, but he's also expected to be Anderson's top option offensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='2797660' first='Manu' last='Jackson']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/damauri-crosby/"></a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You can make a case for just about any player on this team to be a breakout prospect, but for the sake of choosing one, we're going with sophomore wing [player_tooltip player_id='2797660' first='Manu' last='Jackson']. Jackson, who transfers to Anderson from Marion, is a 6'5” wing capable of making an impact on both ends of the floor. He's a versatile inside-out threat with some underrated shooting ability. There are a ton of tools in Jackson's game that you could really fall in love with this season.<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/ronald-mosley/"></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Key Roster Members</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1560980' first='Collin' last='Lewis']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2538885' first='Ray' last='Bowling']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Isaac Fuller</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
