Boys basketball preview: Northmont
This is another in a series of capsules previewing area high school basketball for the 2009-10 season:
NORTHMONT
Coach: Jim Brown, 13th season
2008-09 record: 12-10 (3-7 Greater Western Ohio Conference)
Returning starters
Zach Newsome, Sr. F, 6-4
Steve Newell, Sr. G, 6-1
Solomon King White, Soph. G, 5-9
Notable
The Thunderbolts had to use last season to get some varsity experience. “When the season started,” Brown said, “we had one player who had ever played a varsity minute of basketball.” That was Newell, who enters his third season as a starter. Aside from White, Northmont will start two other sophomores, 6-3 Jamal Trammell and 5-9 Devon Carter. Trammell joined the varsity late last season from the freshman team and impressed coaches, and Carter is expected to be the team’s point guard. Northmont is lacking in some size but is athletic, and the Thunderbolts will get help in that area from Josh McClain, the super-athletic junior who is a top recruit at wide receiver. “A key part of our season will be how our two seniors play,” Brown said. “They have to play well.”

Solomon White is great, but his last name is White, not King-White, unless it has been officially canged through the courts. Check the birth certificate First name: Solomon, Middle name: King, Last name: White
