BOYS BASKETBALL
KAMERON CARDER
#12 | senior | G/F | 6-foot | 120 lbs.
“This is Kam’s ON first year out for us, and he’s CARDER been out here getting better everyday. We’ve had him playing a lot of spots already, so we’ve thrown a lot at him for him to learn. He’s spending as much time as possible trying to get where he needs to be. He’s been very eager to improve himself, and that was noticable since day 1.”

KENNETH FOX
#44 | senior | F/C | 6-foot-1 | 215 lbs.
“All summer ON long, Kenny was here getting betFOX ter. Kenny has a way of doing things for us that we sometimes don’t expect him to do. And by that, I mean he always finds ways to be productive for us and because he brings that, we expect him to work his way into our rotation this year. This is only his second year with us, so technique may not be his strongest suit. But he makes up for anything he lacks with a lot of heart and drive.”

BRANDON STIRES
#24 | senior | G/F | 5-foot-11 | 165 lbs.
“With this being ON Brandon’s first year with the STIRES program, he’s had to work through everything and start from scratch. But he’s knowledgeable and has picked up pretty quickly. He’s a guy who, although he’s not the biggest, he has enough heart, and is physical enough where we can play him underneath the basket if we need to.”
KNIGHT
ADAM SHREVE
#5 | senior | G | 5-foot-10 | 125 lbs.
“Adam comes ON into this season as our only SHREVE returning letterman, and he’s put a lot of weight on his shoulders to develop himself into the type of leader that this team needs. On the court, he’s the player to turn to if you need a big shot - he can throw it up from anywhere. Off the court, he led this group all summer, and so far into this season. He always made sure that this team was working, and he has a great relationship with all of his teammates, so they really follow his lead. His attitude has rubbed off on the younger guys.”
