BG: What is different this year about being a senior?

BH: You've got a lot of freshman that just look up to you. I stay after practice sometimes to try and help them. You also have these veteran players like Cooper (Neese) and Jalen (Moore). They are going to help you a lot. Everyone on the team just respects each other. I like it.

BG: Who are some of your biggest supporters off the court?

BH: I'd have to say my family. My parents and the coaches. Everyone. I love having the fans out here too. It's great. You'll always know that they'll have your back even if you have a bad game, when you get home you can talk to them about it. They can give you some pointers, which is nice to have that support behind you.

BG: What is your favorite thing about your teammates?

BH: In general, I just love them. We are all very nice to each other. We joke around and stuff. It's easy going and we get down to business when we need to. They are a very talented group and I love them.

BG: Do you have a favorite moment playing at Cloverdale?

BH: I just love seeing it whenever the crowd is packed. I love being able to play in front of everyone. Especially whenever we are winning it's a good time.

BG: What was it like when you first started playing for Cloverdale?

BH: I didn't think a whole lot about it but as soon as I got here in the seventh grade, I learned that this school is full of tradition. No matter what grade you're in, it's all full of tradition. Everybody has a lot of respect for everyone.

BG: What is the biggest difference in focusing for basketball versus focusing for track?

BH: I'm more interested in basketball and in practice it's a lot more focused in general for me. In track it's more easy-going, just to stay fit. Coach (Andy) Tyler focuses on other players. In basketball it's all out focus. You want to win.

BG: What has it been like playing with Coach Patrick Rady?

BH: It's not a whole lot different. He's pretty demanding. He's a great coach. He just demands a lot out of us. That's to be expected. I love that. I love being able to play for him. He demands hard work.

BG: What are your post-high school plans?

BH: I plan on going to college. I'm not too sure where yet. I've been accepted to multiple schools. I just have to choose. I'm thinking about physical therapy and maybe minor in business.

BG: What got you interested in physical therapy?

BH: I love being around sports, but I also love helping people. So I want to do some sort of profession that can help people and keep me close to sports.
