What’s it like to be a senior leader on the basketball team at Pulaski High School?

“It’s been an honor to be considered a leader for our team this year. I’ve always looked up to the seniors before me, so to be in this position is surreal.”

What’s your most embarrassing basketball moment?

“My freshman year after a game, we were taking showers. As I was walking back to my locker, I warned everyone to be careful because the ground was slippery. As I was warning them, I slipped on my back. To this day, everyone teases me about it.”

What’s your most memorable moment? 

“Playing with the Wisconsin Blaze this summer was an incredible opportunity. We played in national tournaments in Louisville, Chicago and Atlanta, where we won two of them. I met amazing people and learned so much from the coaches.”

If you could have one wish, what it would be?

“To go on a vacation around the world with my family.”

What's your favorite thing about playing for coach McElrone?

Talk about Polka Days and what it means to Pulaski.

“It’s a four-day celebration we have in Pulaski to celebrate the Polish heritage which is common in our town. People come from all over the nation to listen to the polka bands play, watch fireworks, polka dance and end with a parade through the local streets. It’s an event everyone in Pulaski gets to experience and draws in thousands of people every year.”

Favorite drill in practice?

“I like the transition-ladder drill, where we practice 2 vs. 1, 3 vs. 2, 4 vs. 3, 5 vs. 4 and 5 vs. 5.“

What are your hobbies? 

“I like to listen to music, go to my cabin, play soccer and support my school’s athletic events.”
