Bodie Herring led the way with 16.

In the 3rd place game, Southeast drew Dubois and eeked out a 61-55 win thanks to 18 points from Hayden Anderson, 14 from Sawyer Anderson with Cord Herring throwing in 13.

After the season, the team and the community mourned the loss of head coach Crockett Herring who passed away in the first week of June. Herring was the Cyclones head man for 5 years with 3 state tournament appearances. Herring was also a one-of-a-kind athlete at Southeast who was named all-state in 4 sports; football, basketball, wrestling, and track, plus he competed in the Hiigh School National Finals Rodeo in the calf roping.
