Halstead High School has a number of threats returning for the upcoming season. Twins Piper and Jordy Schroeder are just two of those who will be making big moves on the court this season.
While they play on the same team, their 2024-2025 seasons ended quite differently.
“Last season it ended with me suffering an ACL and meniscus injury, so it has been a bit harder to get back to playing, but I am working really hard to get my prior skills, speed, and strength back come the season,” Piper said.
Coming off of that injury, Piper still has big goals for the upcoming season.
“Some goals I am focusing on this year would be staying healthy, getting to the postseason and getting back to the state tournament, winning our league, and also just working more on my shot just cause there’s always something to improve on,” Piper said.
On the other side, Jordy has a very similar vision for the year.
“A team goal I have is making it back to the state tournament,” Jordy said. “Personally, I would like to contribute more on offense and continue to play tough defense. As an upperclassman this year I would also like to step up and be a bigger leader for the team.”
After coming off of a high from last year’s season, the Schroeders are eager to match up with some familiar rivals.
“When we play Hesston there is always a good atmosphere and it is a tough game,” Jordy said. “I’m also excited to see some new teams like Little River this season.”
