AFTON EAGLES
Coach: BRYSON COTTRELL
2025-26 Record: 14-15
OUTLOOK
Afton boys basketball enters the season looking to build on the toughness and competitiveness head coach Bryson Cottrell saw during a 14-15 campaign. The team’s intended identity will center on playing together, defending, rebounding and competing on every possession. Cottrell is encouraged by the offseason work completed by an experienced group.
Aiden Victor (Sr.) provides an established leader after averaging 25.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists last season. His production gives Afton a player capable of affecting the game as a scorer, rebounder and creator. Cottrell describes Victor as a senior who accepts responsibility and improves the players around him, adding leadership to his statistical impact. Afton will rely on that influence as it works toward a more consistent season.
Victor’s ability to contribute in several areas gives the coaching staff a familiar starting point. His senior role will include helping establish the team-first approach Cottrell wants across the roster.
Assistants Bryce Gibson and O. Jay Bowen join Cottrell as Afton continues developing the program. The outlook emphasizes preparation and collective effort rather than assuming success will follow automatically. With Victor leading and teammates building on their offseason work, Afton will look to turn its competitive approach into another step forward.
