Winning is the ultimate goal, and I bring a relentless drive to compete at the highest level

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Outside of sports, I've found that same powerful sense in the community I live in through ways of giving back by volunteering. I've helped with cleanup efforts after storms.

A wired-to-score backcourt prospect, Backaus can put up points in a hurry due to his deep bag of tricks on offense. He can pop in multiple threes in any game, scores through contact on drives to the basket, and swishes mid-range jump shots. He had eight points for Coulee United in its win over Minnesota Heat Tuma as he turned in a cerebral performance for his squad. But he can get you 20-points plus in most games, and get to the foul line at a high level as well.
