Jersey number #12

Something from last season that stood out?

We had a very fun and competitive game vs Wheeling Central last year in which we came back 20 points that went down to the wire, ending up losing 67-64, but it was a very fun game.

Personal goals for the season?

Have fun, stay healthy, make it back to Athens, and score my 1000th point.

What goals have you set for your team?

To be us, have fun, push ourselves every day that we have an opportunity, and make it back to where we all know we can go.

After final cuts were made, was there one teammate that shocked you with the way he looked leading up to the final cuts?

No.

As a team, you guys are off to a slow start. What needs to change to right the ship and set up a nice tourney run?

I think we need to continue to build on what all needs to be built on, and we will be fine and stay together as a team, and everything else will fall into place.

How would you describe your style of play?

Dangerous from the 3, long on defense so makes defenders have a hard time getting by, dangerous in transition, and loves to pass the ball and get my teammates open looks.

What makes you a good teammate?

I’d say I push everyone to be their best. I always make sure everyone gets the ball and is in the right spots on plays, defense, or whatever it is. I always have my teammates' back no matter what the situation is.

Should there be a shot clock in high school basketball?

I think there should be. It would be fun and more fast-paced. My team got to play in the shot clock shootout last year, but I was injured, so I personally did not get to play, but from a watching standpoint, it looked fun and more exciting.

What has been your biggest moment on the court?

 Hitting an and-1 3 vs. Coshocton late in the 4th quarter in the sectional final sophomore year

What is the strongest part of your game?

 Shooting.

Who is the best player that you have faced in a game, along with the team he was on?

Eli Sancomb, Wheeling Central (Current)

Why should a college coach recruit you?

If they see my game, they will see that I can provide anything you need out of me.

Have you heard from any colleges? If so, would you name some of them?

Yes, Malone University, Bethany College, Franciscan University, and a few others.

What scares you?

Not being able to leave the mark on the earth that I want to leave.

Who are your role models?

My mom and my stepdad.

What is a style or fad that your generation has that you do not get?

Shoes with no socks. You gotta be wearing socks at all times.

My respect for other teammates, my hard work and dedication, and lifting my teammates up during hard times. What was the highlight of the 2024 season? The highlight of my 2024 season was definitely the 42-yard free kick Coach Daniel Barker had me working on all week before we played that Friday night. For those that don’t know, a free kick happens after receiving a fair catch. Your team can choose to kick a field goal off a kickoff tee from where the fair catch was received. It’s very rarely used in football now. But I did do it. I made a 42-yard free kick, and it made my season! What was the toughest part of the 2024 season? The hardest part of the 2024 season was probably finding out that my best friend ...

  Jarred Johnson Huntington High School Guard, Defensive Line, MLB 2027 5'9, 230 lbs. Jersey Number: 59 Other sports played: powerlifting Please post a small recap of last season with something like a big game you had, something about a certain game, something from a bus ride to or from the game, or something that sticks out from a practice. A big game last year for me was the game against Eastern Pike; even though the score didn’t show it, I feel like I had a good game on both sides of the ball. Eastern is always a good game. When we last spoke, you had said that 2024 would be the first year playing on the defensive line. So, how did that go? Last year was my first year playing defensive line; it went great. I loved being the one who did the dirty work for our inside linebackers! Last time we spoke, you said one of your goals was to become a leader. Were you able to achieve this goal? Yes, now that I’m considered an “upperclassman,” I feel that it’s my job to lead the upcoming pla...
