with just two more players on the roster than the year before. Now, with five seniors next season, the Foresters are reloading. As for depth: let’s try it again.
The ten returning Foresters and five new freshmen will push the roster up to 15 players, the exact same number we expected a year ago, and the Forester Fans can be optimistic with this set of newcomers.
Kyle Johnson made his commitment to HU early this year. He even went to Branson to watch the Foresters play for the National Championship. A resident of Kendallville, Johnson will be an outstanding addition to the program.
Kyle played varsity basketball at East Noble HS (4A) for four years, starting every game and averaging double figures each of his last three seasons. As a senior, he

Kyle was voted Most Dedicated Player by his teammates three years in a row, he was voted

MVP two years, and twice received the Knight Award as the athlete best representing East Noble HS on and off the athletic field or court.
Kyle is a three-time First Team All-Conference selection. (As a sophomore, Kyle shared this particular honor with Doug Sheckler, then a senior at Columbia City HS.)
