The Wallace Miners are coming into the 2025-26 season with a young, hungry roster and a free-flowing offensive style designed to create open looks and push the pace. Head coach Jared Young is excited about the growth and chemistry of his team. 

“I’m excited to see this young team gel and work together,” Young said. “Adding Lennox and the growth of our young players, we hope to be a very competitive team and keep building the program.” 

Roster Outlook 

Last season, Wallace leaned heavily on Julian Davis to carry the offensive load while his younger teammates found their footing. This year, that should look a lot different. 

Wallace returns key contributors in Henry Larson (G, Jr), Emmitt Myles (F, Jr), and Cooper Miller (G, Soph), while welcoming impact newcomers Lennox Radford (G, Soph) and Simon Sodbat (G, Jr). 

The Miners will miss Davis, an All-League forward who averaged 20 points per game and “could do anything he wanted on the court,” according to Young. 

Offensive Identity 

Expect a free-flowing offense built on movement and guard play.  

“Cooper Miller and Lennox Radford will be the catalyst for us,” Young explained. “They can create and make shots. With improved play from Henry ‘Hank’ Larson and the addition of Simon Sodbat, we should have some additional scoring options this year, which will make us a tough matchup.” 

Areas of focus include ball handling, decision-making, and shot-making—critical for a team looking to maximize its speed and spacing. 

Defensive Approach 

Wallace plans to mix aggressive man-to-man defense with zone looks to keep opponents guessing.  

“We need to force more turnovers and be tenacious rebounders,” Young said. “Must keep our hands up on defense and make good rotations.” 

X-Factor 

Ball security and rebounding will determine the Miners’ success.  

“We have to rebound well, take care of the ball, and win the turnover ratio,” Young emphasized. 

Key Dates and Conference Outlook 

Wallace will battle league favorite Lakeside, led by Tyson Charlie and Hallah Peone, while Clark Fork could surprise with size and a strong post presence. Young hopes his squad can be the dark horse in the race for a postseason berth.
