Having heard from Grand Canyon, Weber State, and UC Riverside, you may ask why he isn’t more known locally. A dual sport athlete, Cash suffered a broken wrist in spring football and missed out on the summer basketball circuit after a Spring in which he began to garner attention from college coaches.
When asked about the experience, Cash described it as “a blessing in disguise”, citing that it forced him to do everything with his right hand, which, for a lefty, can transform his game. Amarion is set for a breakout season as he will see a large increase in both playing time and usage. Projecting as a low-mid level division 1 prospect with good upside, Cash seeks a “family vibe”. The two main things that he will bring from day one are his defense, both in a team defensive scheme and individual on ball defense, and his natural knack for facilitating.
Those abilities will be on full display this year as he will play multiple positions, including some point guard, and will be tasked with defending the opponent’s best perimeter player. He states that his goals are to make an all-state team, beat his rival school, Desert Vista, and to give his best each time he steps on the court. It should be an exciting year not only for him, but for a Mountain Pointe program that is young and talented and look to play at among the fastest paces in the state this season.
