Yes, he played JV and can jump out of the gym.

 

He's a senior this year, correct?

I think Highlands will sneak up on some teams this year.

I believe Bruns is a Junior.

Sr's-Stew,Crowley,Dean and Egan

Jrs-Bruns,New,Towles,Lewis

Sphs-Witte,Turner,McCoy,Collinsworth,Hinkle,Gronotte,Carter

Frosh-Nick True

 

These are kids that were on roster last year and most played this summer outside of Bruns who was nursing an injury and Towles who was at QB camps.

6 footballers on the Birds basketball team is a huge help to the program. Not only are those kids athletic, but they also bring toughness to the team.

 

Can still remember Ryan Ball and those 20 inch guns jacking up 3's and bringing the ball up the court. :lol:

Footballers are New,Towles,Bruns, McCoy, Turner, Collinsworth and Nick True so actually 7. They will definitely bring some physicality to the court. Towles is 6'5 and very solid in the post, Bruns is an athlete, New is tough as nails out front, McCoy will run through a wall and can score. Nick True might be the most improved in the last 12 months, he had a nice summer battling Bigs at Oak Hills, Anderson, Centerville, etc. Turner is nursing a wrist injury but should be ready once football is over and Collinsworth should be ready to suit up as well.

 

Bringing these guys in with the solid core they have working together right now should be fun to watch. I also think they will be a team that plays a very tough schedule and will be ready come tournament time.

I am assuming, from your post, that Collinsworth will be able to play basketball. Will he be able to play football again?

Yes sir.

What's the story with Jake True? Is he still playing basketball? He was beast in the younger grades but haven't heard much on the HS level.

No longer playing is my understanding.

From talking to Coach Flynn, expect Crowley, Dean, Egan, and Stewart to all start this season the sophomores and juniors battling it out for that 5th and final starting spot.

Towles will play the 5 and Stewart will be at the 4.

Towles will play the 5 and Stewart will be at the 4.

 

That is what I am hearing as well. Coach wants Stew facing the basket and he can consistently knock down the 12 foot J so that is a good move. Towles has skills around the basket and will likely have Nick True the 6'5 Freshman spelling him at the 5 spot.

 

I hear Egan has dropped like 15 lbs and is in excellent shape as well. This will help improve his quickness and defense.

 

Intrasquad scrimmages are this Saturday and next then its onto the SK scrimmage on the 20th. They go down to North Laurel for a scrimmage on the night before Thanksgiving for their final one before opening the season on Dec 10th against St. Henry at home.

My understanding is that Bruns will not be playing hoops this season................

Isn't that a little late for starting the season? Most teams start the last day or so of November or that first week of December. (1st-4th)
