Genoa Kingston
Outlook:
The Cogs return few key pieces from last year’s team and hope to play a lot of guys in hopes of finishing above .500 for the first time in a few years. 6-foot-5 forward Hayden Hodgson is nearing 1,000 career points and returns as the leading scorer. He has serious three-point range to go along with the size to do some damage inside. Senior guard Nathan Kleba is a three-year starter who can be a complimentary ball-handler and shooter on the perimeter. Junior Marcus Johnson also played significant minutes as a sophomore and has grown as a confident playmaker who can impact games defensively. Genoa is hoping to carry momentum from a strong summer into the winter season.
Key Players:
Sr – Hayden Hodgson (6’5 Forward)
Jr – Marcus Johnson (6’0 Guard)
Sr – Nathan Kleba (6’0 Guard)
Prospect For College Coaches To Keep An Eye On:
Hayden Hodgson (6’5 SF/PF, 2025)
Hodgson has the build to play inside but has a perimeter-oriented game where he leans on long-range shooting. He’s a serious threat to knock down shots from the volleyball line and has a good one-to-two dribble pull-up game. He has already fielded a few D3 offers.
