The Audubon Wheelers boys basketball team’s season got off to a fast and solid start. Last week, the Wheelers opened the season with a back-to-back and then followed that up with a third game on Friday. After dropping their season opener against Coon Rapids-Bayard last Monday, the Wheelers rebounded on Tuesday with a 56-48 win over Underwood. Although they dropped Friday’s game to a solid Treynor team, the Wheelers rebounded earlier this week with a 59-50 win over Missouri Valley. Head coach Darran Miller said that the rapid start to the season has given him an easy path to seeing what his team needs to work on.

Although there are things to work on, Miller has seen positives in Audubon’s start to the season.

Leading the charge for the Wheelers are a pair of juniors. Brody Shcultes is off to a great start and currently leads the team, averaging 10.7 points per game and hitting 48% of his field goals. He also had an 18-point outing against Underwood last week where he hit 7-of-12 from the field and shot 50% from beyond the arc. Brody Weber is also having a solid averaging 7.7 points per game and put up 13 points last week against Underwood. Miller has been happy with the work they did to put themselves in a position to succeed.

In addition to Schultes and Weber, Miller feels like his team has solid depth. Mason Steckler led the charge with 12 points in the team’s loss to the Crusaders while Aaron Olsen and Carson Wessel have also contributed.

Audubon will continue the 2024-25 campaign on Friday when they host the 3-1 IKM-Manning Wolves. Miller says the Wheelers will need to be ready to go against a talented Wolves team.

Tip-off in Audubon is scheduled for 7:30 pm.
