A 6’0 point guard who is one of the most talented young bucket getters in the state. The young lefty broke into the starting lineup for a talented Red Devils team that reached the Class 6 state finals. He is a thick bodied guard who can create off the dribble with slick handles and three level scoring ability. He had a dominant summer playing for the Missouri Phenom 15Us.

He’s on the point guard list but he scores it like a 2 man. Strong compact frame. Found his openings in gaps of the defense and got through them in a hurry.  Runs the break at a quick rate. Aggressive on both ends to pressure the basketball and keep defense on their heals. Had a couple pick offs to go the other way. For smaller size will still be around the glass to grab opportunities. Definitive contributor next 3 years.

The sturdy 5’10” point guard worked his way into the starting lineup of a Red Devils team that finished second in the Class 6 state tournament. He is physically strong and he plays with plenty of poise that is well beyond his years. He averaged nine points, 3.5 rebounds and two assists while shooting 49 percent from 3-point range.

The 5’10 point guard has worked his way into key minutes for a talented Red Devils team that is one of the best in Class 6. The young lefty has a stout build with an offensive bag and court savvy that is well beyond his years.
