Top Pheasants
Carter Robertson Carter Robertson 6'0" | PG Parker | 2022 State SD (2022) |6-1 G|
He is a very athletic player. 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.
Davin Fuller Davin Fuller 6'1" | SF Parker | 2022 State SD (2022) |6-2 F|
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.
Coach Austen Hurley comments on team goals
“Our team goal this season is to be above .500 and win the Big East Conference Tournament.“
