How has your season gone individually?
We have a lot of talent on the team. We have not won a lot of the close games. We are starting to play really well, clicking really well. We are playing better basketball at the right time.
You should have pulled out some games? Why?
Within 5 points, I do not know for sure. We have lost probably 5 or 6 games within five points.
These are not games that you snuck into within five points late, you are saying that they were close the whole way?
We were leading the whole game and then they would come back.
Have you been able to dissect that?
Not really. We are still figuring it out as a team, but we are playing well overall.
Who are the five guys you are starting lately?
BJ Wesley, He is our point guard. Me. EJ Jordan (2025) He is a hooper. Nemo and Levi.

Can you tell me a little about Evan “EJ” Jordan? I don’t know anything about him.
He just came to FRA this year. I’m not sure where he came from. He is a bucket. He is young and he is tough.
How tall is he?
He is 5-foot-9.
I know you guys have a really strong veteran team, so he must be doing something special to be getting big minutes.
He has earned the minutes.
That is so exciting that Levi is playing basketball. I was always worried he wouldn’t stick with basketball because of his volleyball talents.

is really good at volleyball. [On basketball] He is getting better day by day. He will dunk on you.
On college, Connecticut College. When are you moving in? June or August?
August. I am not really sure. I am focused on this team now. That will be my next team. We still have business left this year.
I feel like, our record is not great, but we are a good team and we are a dangerous team and ready to go.
