With a significant portion of last season’s core graduating, the Hortonville Polar Bears enter the upcoming basketball season with a fresh look and a clear identity.
Hortonville will look to replace a group of strong, productive seniors. Among last year’s top six scorers, only senior guard Jaden Van Handel returns to lead the offense. Joining Van Handel in a veteran senior core are returning Noah Rindt, Nathan Tousey, and Griffin Heckert.
While Hortonville will field a smaller lineup than in years past, the Polar Bears plan to rely heavily on quick pace of play, high-energy movement, and unselfish ball-sharing to outmaneuver opponents.
Depth will come from a mix of new senior contributors and incoming varsity talent. Senior Reid Van Epps and junior Lucas Olive add depth to the guard position, while Bennett Leiteritz andRyder McGlone give the Polar Bears much-needed size and interior presence.
While the Polar Bears will have to adapt quickly to new roles, their combination of senior leadership, backcourt quickness, and varsity-ready youth gives them a solid foundation for a competitive season.
