Heck of a season for Winnebago.
The Indians end their year at 15-11.
Lovejoy averaged 18 points per game for the season while Berridge and Blackfish had 17 and 15, respectively.
Departing Seniors include Blackfish, Tebo, Lovejoy, Destin Vargas, Berridge, and Warrick Lonewolf.
This was a very talented Senior Class that meant a lot to Winnebago Boys Basketball and will be sorely missed.
Those players were the main contributors and guys for the team this year so I’m not sure who all the Indians will feature next year.
Winnebago just seems to reload year in and year out though so I’m sure the Indians will continue to perform at a high level in the future.
Replacing this year’s Departing Seniors won’t be easy though as these kids played a lot of ball together.
It simply means new players will have to step up and emerge next year, which I’m sure will be the case.
