Two years removed from a winless campaign, there is only one direction for the Blue Devils basketball program, and that is on the way up. After finishing the season 0-23 in 2007-08, Windsor won six games a season ago (6-20). Three of those victories came in National Trail Conference play.

"We look to build on the progress we made last year and compete night in and night out in the conference," third-year coach Bruce Austin said. Three starters are back for the Blue Devils, including leading scorer Kyle Floyd (6'1" Point Guard). Last year, Floyd averaged 12 points/game. Joining Floyd in the rotation will be returning starters Torey Leasher (6'4" Power Forward), who averaged 6.0 points/game and 7.0 rebounds/game, along with Zach Weber (6'4" Center). Weber put up 6.0 points/game and 6.0 rebounds/game a year ago.

Newcomers to the varsity looking to scratch for time on the floor will be, Ryne Floyd (6'3" Shooting Guard), Sid Edwards (6'1" Small Forward), Braden Stremming (5'9" Guard), and Andy Cole (5'10" Guard).

In the National Trail, Windsor will look to build on last year's three-win campaign. "(Effingham) St. Anthony and Stewardson-Strasburg will be the clear leaders of the conference this year. Teutopolis will reload with up and coming juniors and a solid senior class."

Austin has a 6-44 career head coaching record.

Windsor has seen little postseason success on the boy's hardwood in recent decades. The last postseason championship was a District title in the 1965-66 season. The Blue Devils have won four Regionals in school history (1939-40, 1940-41, 1942-43, 1959-60). Windsor won several District titles from the 1920's on into the 1960's.
