Jorden Bemmes: Reading's Returning Honoree Has Double-Doubles in the Record Book
Jorden Bemmes' returning-player story at Reading is especially easy to see on the glass. In the Blue Devils' 78–68 tournament win over Bethel-Tate on February 26, 2026, Bemmes recorded 17 points and 10 rebounds. Six of those boards were offensive, according to the official CHL box score. The league later listed him as a sophomore honorable mention selection.
The production behind the outlook
That was not his only documented double-double. Bemmes supplied 13 points and 10 rebounds in a 61–58 win over Lockland on December 16, again collecting six offensive boards. Against Mariemont on February 3, he had 12 rebounds, including seven on offense, along with seven points and four assists in a 68–67 double-overtime loss. Those results provide several dated examples of the contributions behind his conference recognition.
What to watch in 2026–27
Reading's 2026–27 rotation will be different after a senior-heavy group completed the previous season. Bemmes' Class of 2028 timeline makes his varsity experience relevant to the next team. The opportunity is to turn those productive rebounding nights into a more consistent part of the schedule while taking on whatever scoring responsibilities the new lineup creates. His box scores already offer a reason to follow the progression. For Cincinnati-area fans, the appeal is a player whose work around the basket has produced tangible extra possessions, even when his point total was not the largest on the floor.
