McCaskill back at Troy Athens.

Written Saturday November 12th at 1:35 PM


It looks like Taylor McCaskill is coming back to Troy Athens after all.

McCaskill according to a Tweet from Prep Hoops Michigan says that he has went back to Troy Athens. He was previously at Detroit Edison but decided to comeback to Troy.

McCaskill will likely have to sit out a semester according to MHSAA guidelines. It is unknown if he has to sit out the entire 2016-2017 basketball season.

McCaskill when he comes back will lead a team that will be experienced heading into the season. Troy Athens will also have Jacob Bradley back for coach Dave Scott.

The Red Hawks will compete in the very difficult White division with the likes of Troy, Hazel Park, Oak Park, Pontiac, and Avondale. They do host the district that included Warren De LaSalle, Royal Oak, Warren Cousino, Warren Mott, and Sterling Heights.

Troy Athens opens up the season on December 6th when they host former Bloomfield Hills coach Dwayne Graves and the Clawson Trojans.

Thoughts:

McCaskill will be an impact player for the Red Hawks but looking at the division I don’t think Troy Athens is as good as Hazel Park, Oak Park, or Troy in the division. The Red Hawks had a tough season in the Red and is now in the White.

The Red Hawks should be a better team this upcoming season but it will be interesting how McCaskill bonds with his teammates after leaving them to go to Detroit Edision. It will be interesting how the chemistry will be. It will be interesting if he can bond with Bradley once when he gets back to playing.

Troy Athens will be a much better team come March.
