Florida Top 250 Expo Player Report: Thomas Bernard
The Cypress Creek guard has been making a name for himself during the summer and continued that momentum through the fall.
The defensive mindset Bernard plays with is his strongest asset. In showcase games you rarely see great defensive play, until you watch Thomas at a showcase. Chase-down block after block, steal after steal, closing out and boxing out hard were all in display during the senior’s day.
Bernard again showed why he is a coach favorite, with his team first attitude. Cheering guys on, being the loudest on defense and the first to jump up and clap after a big play. Not only did he display those skills, but Thomas also showcased his talents on offense, a bucket getter when his team needs, Bernard will be asked to carry the load this high school season.
With a good amount of colleges making him a recruiting priority, I’m looking forward to seeing where his career is headed after the season.
