Coach Hess gave SDSB the following season preview information:
Wall returns a good nucleus from last year’s team. The Eagles won’t have much size and will use speed and quickness to full advantage when they play bigger ball clubs.
Chavis Shull sr, is a slasher who is good off the dribble and has nice drive to the hoop. He has put up good numbers in the past and will be asked to step into a leadership role this season.
Kale Lytle sr, kale is a good all around player who puts alot of time into his game, he is a good defender and has the ability to put up big numbers, he can get the ball to his teammates in good positions to score.
Tyler Trask jr, Tyler is an energetic ball player with good quickness and defensive skills, he is a flashy player that will need to be more aggressive.
Lane Hustead jr, lane is a hard worker who puts in a lot of time in the off season, lane is an active offensive player that needs to be moving off of picks and has the ability to knock down the outside shot.
Laketon McLaughlin jr, he will be our man in the middle, he is a big physical kid that could be our most effective inside threat.
Tyler Peterson soph, Tyler is a very hard worker that goes hard at both ends of the court, he will be an inside threat for us this season and will be an effective rebounder.
Clancy Lytle soph, he is a very well rounded ball player with good court vision and nice shot and plays solid defense.
Les Williams soph, has the chance to become a very good point guard for us, he is a decent shooter.
Tucker O'Rourke soph, he is a very athletic ball player that has good jumping skills, he is a very active offensive player and will work hard defensively.
White River will once again have a very solid team, Jones County and Lyman along with Faith will be very tough competition for us this season...
The Eagles finished the 2010-2011 season with a record of 12-8.
The Eagles have never won a state basketball championship.
