• Rotation Players: Bryce Cash, 6-3 freshman guard; Cade Nicholson, 6-3 freshman guard; Gavin Peach, 6-0 sophomore guard; TJ Hardy, 6-0 freshman guard; Lloyd Glen, 5-10 senior guard
• The Dish: The Knights go from a senior-led team to a very young one in the course of one season with the loss of four seniors, all of whom were double-figure scorers currently on college rosters. The retool will start with three carryovers. Lash shot 48% from 3-point range and is a tough matchup. Jones is an athletic forward who can get to the basket and Drees is a good rebounder and defender. That’s most of the varsity experience that returns other than reserve guard Glen, but the newcomers are good. Cash already holds an offer from Liberty before playing a high school game, Nicholson is going to make an immediate impact and Hardy, a Northside Christian transfer, is a good shooter. All three are freshmen and will team with Peach to provide shooting to a team that should be fun to watch grow.
