Nov. '24 blurb from Chicagomag.com on last year's season.

The 6-foot-2 combo guard averaged 19 points (he shot 45 percent from 3-point range) and five rebounds in leading his team to the sectional finals and a 27–5 record. “He can dazzle at times with his passing, but he’s got these shot-making skills all around the floor that will translate to the next level,” says Henricksen. He’s also not afraid of stepping up in big moments. “He’s got some real alpha dog in him.”
Moment of arrival At the Jack Tosh Holiday Classic, he put up 31 points in an OT loss to defending state champs Metamora.
