TRINITY
Coach: Mike Szabo (11th year).
Last season: 21-8, lost to Ballard 73-62 in 27th District semifinal.
Player to watch: Darryl Hicks, a 6-4 junior guard, sat out last season after averaging 14.3 points as a freshman at Shelby County. Ranked among the nationâs top juniors, Hicks has a scholarship offer from Indiana.
Other top players: G Charles Foster (6-1, Sr., 11.4 ppg, 4 rpg); G Troy Saxton (6-3, Sr., 9.9 ppg, 2.1 rpg); F Nathan Dieudonne (6-7, Sr., 11.6 ppg, 5.8 rpg); G James Quick (6-1, Jr., 10 ppg, 3.9 rpg); G Miles Rice (6-0, Jr., 1.8 ppg, 1 rpg); G Andrew Perito (6-1, Sr., 4.3 ppg, 4.4 rpg); G/F Craig Owens (6-2, So., 2.4 ppg, 2.5 rpg).
Outlook: Ranked No. 1 in the state in The Courier-Journalâs preseason poll of coaches, Trinity is facing expectations it never has faced before. Three seniors already have signed with NCAA schools: Foster (Morehead State), Dieudonne (Boston University) and Saxton (Alabama-Huntsville). Hicks is the biggest college prospect of all, and Quick isnât bad, either, considering heâs also one of the nationâs top wide receivers. After Dieudonne, there isnât much size, so the Shamrocks will run more than normal.
