He was named The Republic’s athlete of the week on Sept. 7.
His performance: “All of us as a team played significantly better (against Evansville North). It just was a really good game for all of us. I just felt like I played better than I have in all the seasons I’ve played.”
Do you do anything special to prepare? “We have a routine that the whole team goes through, but if we have extra time beforehand like we did at the Hoosier Cup, I will listen to music and work with the ball. I don’t do much shooting to warm up because I don’t shoot from far out much. I work on my speed to get around defenders.”
