Walters_BBB (14).JPG

Ryan Walters was named first team all-conference and tallied 286 points his final season. He also nabbed 113 rebounds, 18 steals and 86 assists.

What makes a dangerous team is having several players that can lead on any given night, making the squad hard to guard.

With a senior core that had put in a lot of time on the court, South Hardin had built that sense of family and were tight knit. On any given night one player or another could go off and lead the team in scoring or rebounding. Five players averaged double-digit points per game. As the season progressed, they were at their best.

Jake Teske drained a team high 62 three-pointers this year. He averaged 12.9 points per game and was named second team all-conference.

Lane Luiken will have a lot of responsibility next year as the top returner for the Tigers. In his junior season, he averaged 12.1 points per game this year and was named second team all-conference.

McKale McGonigal led the Tigers in assists (88) and steals (26) this winter. He also averaged 11 points per game.
