Under coach Brett Moore, East Tech has churned out college level talent on a regular basis. Another player with budding potential in the Scarabs pipeline is sophomore Tyshaun Howard.
The 6-foot-2 guard comes off the bench for East Tech to give the team some offensive firepower. Through the team’s first four games, he’s come off the bench to score 12 points in two of them.
“I think I fit in well with the Scarabs,” Howard said. “Coach Brett put me in a position where I can be successful and play my role.”
Howard is a key part of East Tech’s team. He’s being ask to handle the ball more now that Anthony Carmon graduated, and he’s asking to rebound more with Kory Cullum graduated.
With much of a defense’s attention focused on Markell Johnson, Howard gives them something else to worry about, as he has a jumper that extends to 3-point range.
The sophomore is trying to become a better ball handler, and to do that, he watches a lot of what he calls “explosive point guards,” including Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, Damian Lillard and John Wall.
Howard has little college interest at the moment, but that might change soon, as he appears poised for a big season and to take over the reins when Johnson’s East Tech days are done.
“I pay attention to how Markell leads the team because if you want to be a leader, you have to follow a leader,” Howard said.
Being a leader is one of Howard’s three goals before he graduates. The two are to bring East Tech as many state titles as he can and to get to college.
And like most of his teammates, Howard is confident he can accomplish at least one of those goals this season.
“You can expect a state ring for sure,” Howard said.
