VYPE: What is your favorite part of being on this team?
My favorite part about this team is that win or lose we always have each other’s back. Having good friends around you on the court is super important and the guys I’m surrounded by are super supportive. The coaching staff is also amazing. They have taught me so much and are there for me and my teammates at any given moment.

I would probably go anywhere that has a beach. I’m all about the sun, sand and water. I’m not the type to sit around though. I like to be active all the time. I would take my family with me so my dad could pay for all the expenses.

A new pair of Kobes. Always gotta look fresh on the court.

Anything I can get involved in that helps my church I try to do what I can. I play drums for the worship team, lead bible studies every once in a while and help teach the younger classes on Sunday mornings. My youth group also makes around 150 PB&J’s every month to pass to the homeless in the Joplin area and I love to do my part in that.

I’m a member of STUCO and do my best volunteering my extra time for any events we are putting on in the school. I do get a little crazy when it comes time for the game day pep rallies that STUCO puts on.
