Players of the Foothill High basketball team, from left Dimitre Clair, Eli Habighorst, Fisher Welch and Travis Thomas, take a portrait during the Las Vegas Sun’s High School Basketball Media Day at the Red Rock Resort and Casino, Oct. 28, 2019.

Foothill seems to always be in contention for the Southeast League title, topping Coronado last season for the crown and reaching the Mountain Region championship game.

While they graduated most of the key performers, the cupboard is far from bare. Guard Thomas Fisher-Welch, who averaged nearly seven points per game last season, is the notable returner. Other returns include Dimitre Clair (2.4 ppg in 2018-19) and Eli Habighorst (2.8 ppg).
