HUBBARD, Ohio (WKBN) – Hubbard will look to get back on track in the Northeast 8 Conference with a pair of starters returning in Nik Hendrix and Lavonte Daniels.
Hendrix averaged 8.3 points and hauled down 3.6 boards while shooting 38.2% from beyond the three-point arc (39-102) and 84.6% from the foul line (11-13). Coach Joe Bornemiss says, “Nik is an intelligent young man. He’s a hard-worker, a leader and a three-year starter.” The coaching staff looks at Hendrix as the player who can lead the team on and off the court.
Daniels put together a stat line, a year ago, by averaging 4.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists while appearing in 22 of the team’s 23 contests.
Also, look for Gavin Rybicki (3.8 ppg in 6 games) and Javon Green (1.6 ppg, 2.6 rpg in 14 games) to play key roles for the Eagles this season.
“We’re looking to improve as the season progresses,” indicates Bornemiss. “We want to compete in all games.”
The Eagles will welcome Mathews on November 23 for their opener.
