I sat down with a few returning seniors to catch up with them and find out how their season is going so far:

What’s your favorite part about being a senior on the team this year and how many years have you played?

Kasen Groves: “I have played for four years and I like being a good influence on the underclassmen.”

Jack: “I have played for four years and I’m able to yell at the younger kids.”

What position do you play?

Jack: “All of them”

Kasen Groves: “Guard.”

Do you have to be tall to be good at basketball?

Jack: “No because there are a lot of basketball players that are good and short”

Kasen: “I mean it helps, but no it’s not necessary.”

Who can jump the highest on the team?

Kasen: “Hmm honestly, I couldn’t tell yo– Jordan. Will Jordan.”

Jack: “Ummm Will Jordan for sure.” 

Ella asks, “How would you respond to the stereotype that ‘white boys can’t jump’. 

Kasen: “I’d say it’s pretty true.”

Jacks: “It’s true in most cases but some kids were given that ability.”

Kory: “I mean it’s kinda true. Except Will Jordan it kinda rings true.” 

What’s your go-to song before a game?

Kasen: “Rise and Shine by J. Cole”

Jack: “Outside today”

Go to post-game meal?

Kasen: “Chick-Fil-A.” 

Disclaimer: *Kasen did tell me he was a vegan so I’m not sure how that really works.*

Who’s the best player on the team?

Kasen: “We’re all evenly talented and we all have our strengths and weaknesses.”

Jack: “Kasen.” 

Who’s your favorite underclassman? Why?

Kasen: “Owen. I don’t know cause he’s funny.” 

Jack: “Does Owen count as an underclassman? Owen. Wait scratch that. William Hyatt.”
