Continue ReadingDunnellon 2019 G Maurice Goolsby is one of those rare athletes who can be successful in three different sports. The 6’5″, 195-pounder more than a duel athlete for the Tigers, playing basketball, football and baseball. On the basketball court, he’s coming off a freshman campaign where he averaged 10.4 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.
The Tigers finished 21-9 last season, falling in the 4A region quarterfinal to Lake Highland Prep, 78-77. Dunnellon loses eight seniors including their top three scorers in Deontae Weaver, Chris Colon and Darion Baker. Goolsby has a chance to run away with the keys of this offense at the wing.
“This past season was a learning experience for me, but it was a fun one,” Goolsby told Prep Hoops. “What I learned most from the other guys is that you have to go the extra mile to be the best.”
Ranked as one of the top wings in his class, Goolsby sits at No. 10 in the Prep Hoops Florida 2019 rankings.
Here’s how he would break down his own game.
“I love to crash the boards, love to attack and have nice court vision. I’m looking to get better at dunking with my right hand and my face-up game.”
Goolsby plays for Showtime Hoops on UAA circuit and says that this season is going very well.
He has yet to receive his first offer for basketball although he holds 11 as a wide receiver for football. Goolsby has drawn interest from Florida, Florida State, Louisville, Georgia Tech and USC for basketball.
It’s scary to think what this kid can become with time. He’s going to take over the command of this team as he continues to grow on and off the court. This is a huge season in his maturation process and if he can put up points in bunches look out.
