OUTLOOK

Commerce boys basketball enters the season looking to build on the progress made late in a 10-18 campaign. Head coach Jace Pratt returns six players who handled significant varsity minutes and two more who gained experience in important games. After finishing one victory short of the area tournament, Commerce hopes its returning group and productive summer can support another step forward.

Seth Bonham (6-3, Sr.) provides an established interior presence after averaging 11.0 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists last season. His production gives Commerce a consistent double-double contributor near the basket. He enters the season with 495 career rebounds, placing the 500-rebound milestone within reach early in the schedule.

Carson Fitch (5-11, Sr.) supplies another experienced contributor with the flexibility to play multiple perimeter positions. He averaged 8.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists, giving Commerce an established creator alongside Bonham’s interior production.

Rowdy McVay (5-10, So.) returns after averaging 7.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists as a freshman. He earned honorable mention recognition in the Lucky 7 Conference and moved into the starting lineup midway through the season.

Cooper Trease (6-4, Jr.) adds another frontcourt contributor after averaging 5.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists. Cody Ferdig (5-10, Sr.) supplies senior backcourt experience after contributing 2.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assist.

Landon Hart also provides an important presence within the returning group. Pratt praises his dependable attitude, coachability and willingness to stay prepared regardless of his minutes or role.
