A late riser, Shockley didn’t start playing the sport until his freshman year. He currently hasn’t drawn much interest from college coaches, but that could change this year. He is a long, athletic 6’3 that can handle the ball, shoot from the outside and helps handle the point guard duties at times for head coach Scott Jermain.
Shockley played this offseason for NDaGym and Pip Dukes and says he spent the summer focused on improving his handles and his outside shot.
He said he hopes the the Panthers can advance farther than they did a year ago after going 14-11. Ray-Pec is 2-3 this season and have a big game on Friday at Belton.
“We are really young this year, but I believe we are good enough to make things happen,” Shockley said.
Shockley said he is looking forward to playing state ranked Lee’s Summit West on Jan. 13 and 2018 guard Mario Goodrich.
“He’s a really good point guard and I want to see how it feels to guard a Division I prospect,” Shockley said.
A fan of LeBron James and D’Angelo Russell, with LeBron being his favorite player.
“He uses his strength to power over and past people and Russell is just nice,” he said.
Also the team captain, Shockley said he looks up to his older brothers and says he learned the leaderships skills that he would need this year by watching twin brothers Nick and Nathan Jansen who graduated last season.
“My older brothers make sure I get to a gym whenever I can and they help me with the things I need help with,” Shockley said. “The Jansens helped me become a positive leader knowing that I was going to be the captain this year.”
