How do you think your team and yourself performed throughout this season?

-To be honest I was disappointed in our tournament play, I feel like we could’ve gone all the way and we had a great group of guys to do that. Things just didn’t fall the way we wanted them to but I’m proud of my guys.

What was the biggest obstacle you and your team faced this season?

-My biggest obstacle this season was staying healthy from sickness. I played long stretches of games very sick including the whole state tournament. As a team a huge obstacle we faced was trying to live up to the hype and always playing every teams best version of themselves from being the 1 seed this season.

What do you think you improved most on the court?

-I feel like this season I did a ton of growing in my body as well as my game. I got a lot better with attacking the rim harder and playing off two feet. I improved on using my size to my advantage to defend and score against players bigger and smaller than me.

What are you looking to improve before the next level?

-For next season in college, I’m looking to get a lot stronger and more athletic. I am still growing and growing into my frame. I want to work on the inconsistencies in my jump shot at times and get it consistent and quick for next season.

Who are some teammates that you think stood out this season? Who are some teammates who could have breakout years next year in your eyes?

– Jaedyn Brown Jaedyn Brown 6'3" | CG Pullman | 2023 State WA and Tanner Barbour Tanner Barbour 6'3" | PG Pullman | 2023 WA as fellow seniors were huge in our success with leading our offense and defense as well as showing our young guys how to win. Champ Powaukee Champ Powaukee 6'4" | SG Pullman | 2024 State WA played really well all-around, he is going to have a big year next season. I believe some underrated guys on our team and in our success were (6’10 Austin Hunt Austin Hunt 6'10" | C Pullman | 2024 State WA ) and Caleb Northcroft. I believe that Daniel Kwon and Logan Thompson could have breakout season next year out of Pullman!
