Expert Analysis
Michael Herrick | Prep Hoops Scout
What has been the biggest focus for you personally this season?
“The biggest focus for me is doing whatever it takes to win games, so if that’s scoring, rebounding, or guarding the best player.“
What’s one area of your game you’ve seen the most improvement in?
“Definitely shooting. I was in the gym all summer on the shooting machine, getting my shot right.“
What does your team do well when you’re playing your best basketball?
“Defense for sure. Or even running our offense, not going 1 on 1 and moving the ball.“
Who’s a teammate that deserves more recognition?
“ Jaran Reinhardt Jaran Reinhardt 6'4" | SG Hazen | 2026 State ND . He has a smooth game very athletic and shoots it very well from the field.“
How do you stay locked in during the grind of the season—especially on tough weeks?
“Staying in the gym, always shooting or getting stronger.“
What’s something your coaches emphasize that really shows up on game nights?
“Defense, we do a lot of defensive drills in practice and I think it really shows on game nights.“
What’s the biggest lesson basketball has taught you?
“My freshman and sophomore year, I wasn’t the best shooter, so I knew I had to work on that, and again I was in the gym all summer shooting, so I would say basketball had taught me what you put in is what you get out.“
What has been your favorite moment of the season so far?
“Definitely the night we played Watford, going into double OT and hitting the game-winning free throw and getting that Region win while missing 4 kids who play a lot of minutes.“
Favorite gym to play in (besides home)?
“Dickinson Trinity, they have such a nice gym and a good environment when it’s packed for Region play.“
What are you hoping to accomplish before postseason play begins?
“Get a top 3 seed for Regionals and going in, we are playing our best basketball.“
