The 6’2 second team all state guard had a fantastic summer playing with SBA.

Nienke went at defenses all summer starting with the 21 point, 12 board game he totaled against All Missouri Attack and then near 20 points games against Minnesota Lace Up and SSA Elite in close game wins.

An aggressive and strong guard that should be one of the better upperclassmen in Class 5A this winter.
