Carter is a gifted three-point shooter that can create his own shot. Robertson can also get to the rim to score buckets. He is 289 points away from 1,000. It looks like Carter is going to break that amazing milestone this season. Make sure you keep track of Robertson, it is always a fun game to be at when a player surpasses 1,000 points. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="968172" first="Davin" last="Fuller"] (2022) |6-2 F|</strong></p> <p>He is a 3-year starter and a very long 6’2". Davin’s long wingspan allows him to play much bigger than 6’2". Fuller has great footwork around the basket. This allows him to be effective against bigger and taller post defenders. Get ready for a great senior season from Mr. Fuller.</p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Coach <em>Austen Hurley</em> comments on team goals</strong></span></h4> <p>"<em>Our team goal this season is to be above .500 and win the Big East Conference Tournament.</em>"</p> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Pheasant Schedule</strong></span></h3> <p>December 11 (home) vs <strong>McCook Central/Montrose</strong></p> <p>December 14 (home) vs <strong>Baltic</strong></p> <p>December 16 @ <strong>Elk Point-Jefferson</strong></p> <p>December 21 (home) vs <strong>Parkston</strong></p> <p>December 31 @ <strong>Beresford</strong></p> <p>January 4 @ <strong>Bon Homme</strong></p> <p>January 6 <strong>Big East Conference Tournament </strong>vs  <strong>TBD </strong>@ Garretson</p> <p>January 7 <strong>Big East Conference Tournament </strong>vs  <strong>TBD </strong>@ Garretson</p> <p>January 8 <strong>Big East Conference Tournament </strong>vs  <strong>TBD </strong>@ McCook Central</p> <p>January 11 @ <strong>Freeman</strong></p> <p>January 13 (home) vs <strong>Hanson</strong></p> <p>January 17 (home) vs <strong>Dell Rapids</strong></p> <p>January 20 @ <strong>Canton</strong></p> <p>January 22 @ <strong>Flandreau</strong></p> <p>January 25 @ <strong>Irene-Wakonda</strong></p> <p>February 1 @ <strong>Chester Area</strong></p> <p>February 8 @ <strong>Viborg-Hurley</strong></p> <p>February 11 (home) vs <strong>Sioux Valley</strong></p> <p>February 15 @ <strong>Garretson</strong></p> <p>February 17 @ <strong>Vermillion</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/11/pheasant-crop-1125x739-1637879693.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1334728" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/11/pheasant-crop-1125x739-1637879693-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a></p>
