With all but one player back for 2007-08, the Couriers varsity boys basketball team anticipates improvement on last year’s 13-8 record.
Five seniors return to the starting lineup led by all-everything 5’11” forward Todd Martin. Martin averaged 20.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 2006-07. He enters the season with 956 career points.
Five-foot-eight forward Caleb Miller (12.4 points) and 5’10” center Carl Martin (10.0) return solid offensive help from a squad that averaged 61.4 points last year. Joining them in the starting five are 5’7” point guard Mike Troyer (6.0) and 5’11” guard Joel King (3.6).
Four other letterwinners add depth for Chad Schrock’s second team. Seniors are 5’10” forwards Spencer Miller (2.8) and Ryan Miller (2.7) and 5’11” forward Michael Beiler (1.3). Sophomore Dustin Yoder, a 5’9” guard who netted 1.7 points per game last year, is the other returnee. Yoder suffered a bone fracture in practice but Schrock expects him back for the season opener at Hamilton November 29.
After leading a 10-5 JV team in 2006-07, 5’11” junior forward Evan Stutzman and 5’6” junior guard Aaron Eash will contend for minutes off the bench.
Tough opponents should include Trinity, La Lumiere, Fort Wayne Canterbury, Lakewood Park and Community Baptist. LaLumiere, coached by former Indiana University player Delray Brooks, features 6’10” Serbian native Luka Mirkovic, a DePaul recruit, and star forward De'Andre Haskins.
The ICSTS Northern Regional returns to Trinity in South Bend February 26 and March 1. The four regional winners across the state will vie for the championship at Anderson University March 8.
After playing “home” games at numerous different venues since the program’s induction in 1984, the Couriers plan to open their first competition gym in January. Until then, home games will be played at Heritage Middle School.
