Join the CompetitionRyder doesn’t just love basketball—he truly loves the game. What he loves most is the competition. He thrives on the challenge, pushes himself, and wants to see how far he can take his game. He works hard every day and strives to become the best player he can be.
One of his biggest inspirations is his older brother. He looks up to him, learns from him, and carries that same passion and determination onto the court. But what makes me most proud is that Ryder doesn’t keep that drive to himself. He encourages his friends and teammates, pushes them to work harder, and wants to see everyone around him become better.
his team wasn’t the favorite to win the county competition. Against the odds, Ryder stepped up, battled through every moment, and helped pull his team to victory. He finished with 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists and winning player of the game and receiving a rare Cooper Flag Card from one of the media in attendance!
