EG10/Pocket City 2021 Khristian Lander of FJ Reitz was tabbed as one of the top point guards at the recent Crossroads Invitational in Indianapolis.
Congrats are in order for three young men who have proudly represented Pocket City Basketball on the Spring travel circuit. With their fantastic play, the 2019 Kyler Stiver of Franklin County (KY), Jamarion Sharp of Hopkinsville (KY) and Carson Guthrie of Mayfield (KY) have earned invites to the Larry Hughes Camp.
A familiar face will be in charge of the Central Bears basketball team next year.
During Tuesday’s EVSC meeting, Rodney Walker was named the new head coach for Central basketball. Walker, who has been a coach at Central since 2006, was the coach for the Bear’s JV team previously.
He helped lead the JV team to a 16-4 record last season.
The strange-but-true Evansville to Kentucky Wesleyan College pipeline continues. The latest to follow this unusual basketball path is North High School’s Cameron Seaton, who committed Friday to play for the Panthers next season.
The Wood Memorial senior, who averaged 19 points, six rebounds and four assists the past season in keying the Trojans to a 15-9 record, Wednesday afternoon signed basketball scholarship papers and a national junior college letter-of-intent with Lincoln Trail College of Robinson,Il.
“Lathan not only scored 1,055 career points for us, he has tremendous potential at the college level. He progressed each year,” said recently resigned Wood Memorial Coach Kevin Menke.
A former standout from Dru Smith’s old school helped lead him to his new one.
Missouri landed one of the most sought-after transfers on the market Friday in Evansville guard Dru Smith, which already has fans looking ahead to the 2019-20 season, when the 6-foot-4 guard becomes eligible.
Smith chose the Tigers over Xavier and Virginia Tech after making an official visit to Columbia from Tuesday to Thursday.
Bosse’s Jaylin Chinn has signed with Indianapolis. The Bulldogs senior averaged 15 points per game last season.
Chinn has been a big part of Bosse’s recent success. The 5’11 guard scored his 1,000th career point last season, helping lead Bosse to a runner-up finish in 3A.

With Mayfield entering the season with some pretty heavy expectations on their shoulders, what do you do? You hit the weight room.
That has been the mindset for the Cardinals during the offseason as they prepare for their upcoming opener. Junior Carson Guthrie has taken that to heart and improve over the summer to be ready to carry an even heavier load this season.
