Buddy loves the competition and the opportunity to get better in every single practice, workout and/or game he plays in.
I’d like to say along with myself, his mother and siblings are his constant motivation and inspiration in playing the game and in life as well. He has positive influences around him that serves as such. While his favorite athletes shuffle throughout each season, his family remains a constant staple for him to lean on throughout his basketball journey.
Making it to the city championship last season. He was able to play against his former high school and he performed pretty well. While he lost the game, the experience, the respect of his former coaches and teammates was admirable to say the least. I was and continue to be extremely proud of that moment for him.
