<p><strong>Tucker Kingsbury</strong> is a six foot all league basketball player and a standout quarterback at Sanborn Central. In addition he also spent a number of weekends playing with the Dakota Wizards this off-season. </p><p>All the off-season weight training, competing, etc has likely done a lot for Tucker who seems to be reaching new heights.</p>
<p>“I thought (summer basketball) was great for my game,” Tucker told PHD. “I thought I put more of an overall game together. I really developed better from coming off screens without the ball to get open.</p>
<p>“I also became a better player without the ball in my hands. Just really tweaked some things that needed work and got a lot better and ready to make a run for this upcoming season.”</p>
<p>Sanborn Central brings back just about everything from last year’s team so there are increased expectations.</p>
<p>“I like that we return a lot of guys,” said Tucker. “We return four starters and will have a lot of senior leadership to lean on. We will also be a really deep team seeing eight to nine guys getting some quality minutes.”</p>
<p>The goals that Tucker has aren’t complicated but with so many guys back they are reachable.</p>
<p>“We want to be competitive night in and night out,” Tucker said. “Take one game at a time. At the end of the season hopefully we are standing on top of both conferences and class B basketball.</p>
<p>“We know though we have a lot of work to do and have a tough schedule to do these things but we know they are in reach.”</p>
<p>Tucker is being looked at for college basketball and college football.</p>
<p>“I’m hearing from the University of Sioux Falls and Dakota Wesleyan University. I went on a visit to Sioux Falls last winter. Been doing football ones as well.”</p>
