The Highland Rebels are looking at the 2024-2025 season as one of promise . After finishing 15-15 last season and just missing out on the regional tournament , Coach Adam Wulf and company are hoping to take that next step into the postseason . With all five starters returning , along with some talented newcomers , that could be a reality for the Rebels . Seniors Karson Roark , Edmond Jones , and Kendal Rhodes return to lead the Highland charge . Juniors Adam Munroe and Owen Hyslip also return to the starting lineup . All five return valuable experience to a team that will showcase a lot of youth after these five . Mason Sinclair , Hayden Hyslip , Jimmy Jensen , Austin Christy , Brogan Pospisil , and Carson Stanford are all sophomores looking to make their mark at the high school level . How the experienced core meshes with and leads the younger guys could be a big factor in the Rebel ’ s success this season . Coach Wulf also cites the ability to handle some adversity as another key factor for Highland . The talent is definitely there to make some noise in the 4A-3 this season . The conference is a little smaller , but just as tough as usual and balanced to where anyone can win any given night . Look for the Highland Rebels to be one of those teams battling for a regional berth and even make some noise near the top of the conference .
