BOYS 

Coach: Braden Hill 

21-22 Record: 12-12 

New faces will dot the lineup this season for coach Braden Hill. With several players moving up from junior high to accompany returning starters from last season, the Bulldogs could have a good year and be a tough out. “After a 12-12 season we are excited about a young talented group who had a 12-2 record in junior high last year,” said coach Hill. Rylan Miller (6-2, Jr.) averaged 11 points and 5.0 assists per game. “Rylan has been a consistent player for us since he was a freshman. Rylan was awarded our conference All-Star team, as well as making the area Duncan Banner team,” said coach Hill.

Brodric Spigner (6-1, So.) averaged 9.0 points with 7.0 rebounds a game last year and enjoyed a very productive summer. “Last year Brodric was our sixth man, and looking into becoming a crucial starter for us playing center,” said Hill. Easton Beck (5-9, So.) and Carson Carrio (5-9, Fr.) are two underclassmen coach Hill is excited to see play this year. Beck played last season and was named to the Duncan Banner All-Area team. Carrio could start at shooting guard this season after leading the junior high team to a 12-2 record. Carrio is turn some heads this season at the varsity level. Nicholas Spigner (6-0, Sr.) contributed 5.5 points and 7.0 rebounds a game last year from his small forward spot. Other players to watch include Cale Porter (5-9, Fr.), Luke Burton (5-9, So.), Carson Skiles (5-9, So.), Michael White (5-7, So.), Sean Allen (6-0, Fr.), Johnathan Simmons (5-9, Fr.), and Zach Lipsomb (5-10, So.).
