Published June 17, 2009 01:08 am - 2009 Joplin Globe All-Area Boys Basketball Team Ryan Carmichael, Aurora
6-4 sr. G-F Statistics: The Houn ’Dawgs, 27-2 overall and 7-0 in the Big 8 Conference, fell one win short of reaching the MSHSAA Class 4 semifinals behind the firing of Carmichael. He had the team’s best 2-point percentage (59) and tied for top accuracy (38) from 3. The all-stater was voted “Best Offensive Player” by his teammates. He tallied 598 points — averaging 19.2 — to reach 1,289 for his career. Aurora, which knocked off Webb City in the sectional round, lost only to Springfield Glendale in a Blue Division semifinal of the annual Greenwood Blue and Gold Tournament and to Jefferson City Helias. Carmichael has signed with William Jewell. Coach Darin Meinders says: “Ryan was a very intelligent player — a captain with guard Chase Howertn (who’ll play for Baptist Bible of Springfield) — with leadership qualities. He also was the type who always was in the gym trying to improve his skills. He was the co-player of the year in the Big 8 Conference.” Jacob Gougler, Galena 6-4 sr. F Statistics: All-stater, unanimous all-leaguer Gougler, a 59 percent shooter from the field, paced the Bulldogs in scoring (16.3), rebounding (6) and assists (3.1). Galena, in Matt Meyr’s first season as head coach, finished 22-2 overall and 7-1 behind Girard in the CNC League. The Bulldogs lost 65-51 to Rossville in the first round of the Kansas Class 3A Tournament. Coach Meyr says: “Jacob was very versatile ... an outstanding all-around player. He may have been our best passer. He was our best jumper and converted several offensive rebounds into baskets. His scoring obviously was only part of his game.” Brannon Green, Labette County 6-4 jr. P Statistics: Green, an all-stater, helped the Class 4A Grizzlies post an overall record of 17-6 and tie Pittsburg and Fort Scott for Southeast Kansas League supremacy at 12-4. They lost 45-41 to eventual state runner-up Girard in the finals of the Chanute Sub-State. Green averaged 12.3 points — second to senior Jordan Lambkins’ 12.8 — and led in rebounding (8.5). He also led in steals with 52 and shot 51 percent from the field. Coach Brad Smith says: “He had that knack of knowing just where the ball was going to bounce off the rim. He had great timing with soft hands. He could dominate a game with his scoring and rebounding. He will be asked to score more next season. ‘Moose,’ the son of Eddie Green, one of our junior high coaches in Altamont, is an outstanding tight end in football. He was intense, coachable and worked very hard. He loved to win. ‘Moose?’ He’s had that nickname ever since he was a little tyke.” Justin Jack, Miller 6-2 soph. P Statistics: Jack’s second straight season of averaging double figures in both scoring and rebounding netted a player of the year citation in the Spring River Valley Conference. The all-stater averaged 18 points and 11 rebounds this season. He shot 41 percent from 3 and more than 60 percent overall from the field. Coach Ryan Stokes noted that Jack’s offensive rebound and basket gave the Cardinals a 48-46 win against Laquey for third place in the MSHSAA Class 2 Tournament at Columbia. Miller, 25-5 overall, was unbeaten (9-0) in the SRVC.
