BEECH GROVE (19-6) – Uplifting when coach English (110-108) is with them … homegrown coach Renfro emphasizes his same message: “Bring your lunch pail and wear a hard hat” … Hornets 50-31 in last three years … 2018 Indiana Crossroads co-champions … graduated five seniors,
two-thirds of offense, included Kenny Washington, 14.0 points, and Jalen Curry, 12.9 points … good nucleus with seniors: 6-3 Gavin Hess (9.5 points, 6.2 rebounds), 6-0 Griffin Wade (4.4 points) and 5-7 Jordan Brickley … joined by classmates 6-3 John Parker and 5-11 Romeo Echols … JV unbeaten last year … juniors/JV grads 6-3 Jujuan Allison, Curtis Kim-brough, 6-0 Vincent Pich, 6-5 Josh Fryar and Josh Copenhaver to step in … up-tempo offense and hard-nose defense … first home game Saturday
against league foe Scecina.

Coach’s comments: “We have a brand-new court, and our goal is to protect our home floor. Our three seniors are our leaders, and they  played a lot of varsity last year. They have been with us and know the culture of the program. There is nothing set in stone with our lineup, but we do want our returning seniors to lead the way. The guys up from JV are meshing well. Their summertime together was huge. It’s up to the underclassmen to grow and keep the program going. We’re a blue-collar team, a hard-nosed team and we’re going to do everything to compete every night. Win or lose, you’re going to know you competed against Beech Grove.
