PHD: Walk me through your off-season. What did you do to improve your basketball game?

“During the offseason, I had basketball and football camps, but improved my game through team camps and just trying to stay in basketball shape during football season.“

PHD: What’s one specific part of your game you focused on improving this offseason, and where do you feel like you’ve made the most progress?

“My main focus of the offseason was to tighten up my ball handling and get more physical through the weight room.“

PHD: What does your fall look like right now? Are you playing another sport, or is it all basketball focused?

“Right now I’m in football season and have been since the beginning of summer and that’s led us to be 4-1 while being the #1 seed in state.“

PHD: What are your goals for the coming season, both individually and for your team?

“An individual goal of mine is to definitely make the All-EDC First Team, and our team goal has been to win a State Championship since summer started.“

PHD: Can you give some insight on an influential coach you have had? What made them memorable?

“Two coaches that have helped me throughout my high school career have been Werremeyer and Manson, they both hold you accountable whether you’re the starter or at the end of the freshman bench and give you ways to get better while telling you what you did wrong.“

PHD: Time to give a shout to a teammate…Who do we need to know about from your high school team?

“Someone from our team you should know about is Seth Heidenreich Seth Heidenreich 5'10" | SG Fargo Davies | 2027 State ND ; he’s kind of been under the radar for a while now, but I think he is one of the best and most consistent shooters in the state.”

PHD: Who is your favorite player to watch in college or the NBA, and why?

“My favorite player is Steph Curry. I like him because of the way he shoots the ball, but most importantly, how big of an impact he can make without the ball, and his underrated defense.“

PHD: Where do you feel like your game has grown the most in the past year or two?

“The area of my game that has grown the most has definitely been my physicality and athleticism.“

PHD: Who pushes you the hardest, whether that’s a teammate, a coach, or someone you train with?

“If I had to get a teammate that would push me, it would definitely be Ian Winter Ian Winter 6'0" | SF Fargo Davies | 2027 State ND . He plays fast, physical, and scrappy, and won’t get tired, and it’s something he takes a lot of pride in.“

PHD: Where is your hot spot on the floor or can you tell us about a “go-to” move you like to use?

“I don’t really have a go-to move, but my most consistent shot is definitely a right-wing three.“
