New faces abound for Wildcats coming off state runner-up season
- Updated: December 3, 2021
Senior Michael Seuferling is Louisburg’s lone returning starter off last season’s state runner-up team. The Wildcats open their season tonight at Tonganoxie.
It isn’t easy to follow up the best season in program history, but that is the challenge this year’s version of the Louisburg boys basketball team has in front of them.
It was made even more difficult in the offseason when the Wildcats’ all-state and all-league player, Julian Margrave, transferred to a prep school in New Hampshire for his senior season.
Louisburg returns just one starter and two of its top eight players off last season’s state runner-up team. Although the challenge is a difficult one, coach Ty Pfannenstiel is excited to see what his new players can do.
“Obviously we hope the success of last season continues to help us build and develop this program the right way,” Pfannenstiel said. “We have high standards and expectations for our players, which we believe help us out when it comes to wins and losses. We return two of our top eight players off of last year’s team, so we are going to need some players to step up this year and fill some pretty big shoes.
“Practice has been great. We have a really good group of kids that bring a competitive mentality to practice every day. I’ve been really please with how things have started this year.”
Senior guard Michael Seuferling is the team’s lone returning starter and will look to lead the Wildcats on the perimeter. Another senior, Maverick Rockers, will run the offense as the starting point guard after serving as a backup role a year ago.
Senior Issac Guetterman will join Seuferling and Rockers at the guard spot, while juniors Colyer Wingfield and Mack Newell will start inside.
Pfannenstiel will also look to senior newcomers Hunter Rogers and Carson Kern to provide big minutes off the bench, along with junior Trey Myers. Juniors Cade Gassman and Layne Ryals could also see time.
“Those three senior leaders are going to be important for us,” Pfannenstiel said. “They know the standards of what it means to be a Louisburg basketball player and they’ve done a tremendous job of displaying that leadership this offseason. We are going to expect a lot out of those three this season.”
Despite all the new faces on the varsity roster, the way Pfannenstiel runs offense and defense will stay the same.
“We really haven’t changed much,” he said. “We plan to stick to what has made us successful in the past — tough, aggressive defense, and a focus on being efficient on offense.”
Since the Wildcats lost a lot of their offensive scoring from last season, Pfannenstiel is hoping the team’s defense can help give the team energy.
Louisburg, which is currently ranked No. 2 in Class 4A, will get to test that out today when the Wildcats open their season at Tonganoxie.
“We aren’t going to have a lot of size, but I do think we have a chance to be pretty good on defense,” he said. “Our guards do a nice job of applying pressure and making teams uncomfortable on that end. My biggest concern is how are we going to be at rebounding on the defensive end of the floor? With our lack of size, we are going to have to make up with being disciplined in blocking out and getting five bodies to the basket.
“Our expectations are always high. We don’t necessarily set goals when it comes to wins and losses, or where we want to end at the end of the season. Our expectations are to go out every night and play with the type of poise and effort that brings pride to our school and community.”
