Basketball

Ryan (17) is a junior at Tippecanoe HS and this is his first time playing on the varsity basketball team. At 6'5"+ & 200#s, he is the tallest player on the team and plays center and forward. He plays tough defense and gets his share of rebounds while keeping the opposing big guys in check. He usually scores inside but he has a consistent outside shot too. He says he is also cleared to shoot 3s, if it is "the right 3", according to the coaches. He has started the last few games, but shares play time with some of the other forwards. Tipp graduated two really good players last year - the leading scorer and the league's leading rebounder, so this year's team of mostly juniors is still trying to figure things out. Ryan appears to be in the mix, for now anyway and we are thankful for that.
