14-4 record on the season and the Quarriers are loaded with talent. They have quality wins over Hamlin, EPJ, Aberdeen Christian, and MVP. The lefty sparkplug and All-Star athlete, Pankonen is averaging 21 ppg, 4 rpg, 5 apg, 3 spg. He is electric on the hardwood and the straw that stirs the drink for the Quarriers. Brayden has a hair-trigger and he can light it up from deep. He is a creator that makes others better. He is also a thief on defense with great instincts. If you call Pankonen a playmaker, that is an understatement.

16 points, 6-6 FT’s, and two 3-balls. He looked good with the ball in his hands. Pankonen is speedy fast and lightning quick. The lefty has a silky smooth shot and he needs very little time to get it off. Brayden has great touch and his shot is one of the best in SD. Opposing team’s cannot give Pankonen space outside the arc, every time they do, it will be a 3-point mistake.

Football record: 12-0 and State Champs! Brayden was a ball-hawking DB with 42 tackles and 3 INT’s. He was All-State last season as well. Speaking of All-State, Pankonen was selected  2nd team All-State last spring for basketball. Brayden is a lightning quick SG and one of the top 3-point shooters in SD. Brayden is a playmaker on both ends of the floor and the Quarriers are a top 5 team in Class A.
