VALLIANT BULLDOGS
BOYS
Coach: CODY CARLISLE
23-24 Record: 20-7
The Valliant Bulldogs are coming off a strong 20-7 season and are set to build on that success, bringing back four starters and a motivated roster under head coach Cody Carlisle. “The Valliant Bulldogs look to build on a 20-7 season in 2023 while returning four starters,” Carlisle said. Carlisle is confident in his team’s experience and the depth that the roster offers, creating high expectations as they aim for a memorable 2024 season.
Leading the Bulldogs is senior point guard Davion Hankins (6-0, PG, Sr.), a skilled playmaker who is poised to make an even greater impact this year. Junior guard Brody Dorries (6-0, Guard, Jr.) adds reliability and poise, while the frontcourt is fortified by junior center Kenny Golston (6-0, C, Jr.), whose presence in the paint makes him invaluable. Sophomore forward Kyng Golston (6-2, F, So.) has emerged as the team’s future star, showing tremendous potential after starting the majority of his freshman season. Coach Carlisle is looking for him to make big strides as a key contributor.
Also in the senior class is Daytona Endsley (5-10, Guard, Sr.), whose experience and versatility on the perimeter bring added dimension to the Bulldogs’ offense. Rounding out the roster are a group of talented sophomores and juniors, including Ryker Prince (5-10, Guard, So.), Auzy Trapp (5-10, Guard, So.), Kyreese Watson (6-1, C, So.), and Logan Wesley (6-0, C, , Jr.), each bringing unique skills to the court and ready to make their mark this season.
Sophomores Cameron Jones (6-1, F, So.), Cade Christopher (6-1, F, So.), and Ayden Fowler (5-9, Guard, So.) add youthful energy and talent, while senior center Braylin Carpenter (5-11, C, Sr.) provides crucial experience in the post. Carlisle views this lineup as one of balanced skill and adaptability, with each player contributing to pivotal roles throughout the season.
The Bulldogs’ combination of returning experience and rising young talent sets the stage for a promising season in Valliant. As coach Carlisle and his team prepare to take on the competition, they’re looking forward to capitalizing on last season’s momentum and aiming to achieve even greater heights in 2024.
