Southern Wells boys – Departing Coach Ben Burman
Poneto, Ind. – (Updated 6/24) Now officially open. Good Varsity Club member indicates seven seniors depart from an 12-15 squad. JV above .500, but both 7th and 8th grades described as horrible. One went winless. Varsity Clubber reports HS English open, but also notes SW will be hiring new principal for the fall.
Cannelton boys – Departing Coach Michael Snyder
Cannelton, Ind. – (Updated 6/25) Good Varsity Clubber reports only two seniors leave and less than 7 points depart from a 6-19 squad. One was a real post presence at 6-5 though. A lot of role players do return, but most exciting is 6-2 jr-2-b Rafe Garrett. Garrett averaged over 16 a game as a varsity soph last year. Turnovers and ball handling were both struggles for last year\s young team, and Varsity Club member points to that being an issue again. No teaching positions known of at this time. Good news down the line, though, as both 7th and 8th grades went 12-5 last year.
Eminence boys – Departing Coach Scott Adams
Eminence, Ind. – (Updated 6/25) Varsity Clubber indicates only two seniors dotted last year’s 5-18 roster. However, neither played toward the end of the season. The real story about this team rides on 6-0 sr-2-b Shawn Michaelis. He’s a special player. Varsity Clubber reports he averaged 20 ppg and 10 rpg, and he had high games of 47 points and another with 18 rebounds. Jr-2-b Julian Webb added about 11 a game last season. Very little expected from Eels JV. Social Studies, Math, and English all open at MS level. Some Eled also.
