About Mitch
Expert Analysis
Michael Herrick | Prep Hoops Scout
What has been the biggest focus for you personally this season?
“Providing more for the team or stepping up and playing a bigger role from last year to this year.“
What’s one area of your game you’ve seen the most improvement in?
“Shooting. Got lots of shots up this off-season. Still room to improve, though.“
What does your team do well when you’re playing your best basketball?
“As a team, we just find our rhythm and make shots and play well together. We all know what we want to do, when we are in stride, and how we can make others succeed.“
Who’s a teammate that deserves more recognition?
“I think entirely as a team, we need to be more recognized. We just lost by 2 to the #1 team in the state and played the best basketball we’ve played all season. Everyone is really playing super well right now.“
How do you stay locked in during the grind of the season—especially on tough weeks?
“Just knowing that coach and teammates got your back. If you need a day off because you’re dealing with an injury. We can let our coach know and other teammates will step up because of you needing a day off.“
What’s something your coaches emphasize that really shows up on game nights?
“Playing with each other and defense. Defense wins Championships and when we are all playing really good defense, that will lead to good offense, which will lead to some W’s.“
What’s the biggest lesson basketball has taught you?
“It’s hard. Life’s hard. Nothing comes easy. You’ve got to work for everything.“
What has been your favorite moment of the season so far?
“Getting the W at Mitchell. Coach was emphasizing the win and how big it would be in the ESD and we got the W. Coach prepared us super well and got down early. Battled back. Went into overtime and came out with the win.“
Favorite gym to play in (besides home)?
“I liked playing in the Roosevelt gym. High energy. Big student sections. Little bit of a rivalry between tea and Roosevelt.“
What are you hoping to accomplish before postseason play begins?
“Win the ESD. Not only is it my goal, but a team goal. One of the biggest things coach wants to accomplish is going along with making State and obviously, hopefully making the Championship and winning.“
