Getting to play for his dad his senior year, Clifton-Clyde’s Jack Skocny is ready to prove some people wrong.
Jack Skocny , who is head coach Josh Skocny’s second child, has the chance to play under his dad after the retirement of Justin Steinbrock last year and is thrilled that he gets to do so.
“He will help to bring a new dynamic to this team and I’m thrilled to see what this season has in store,” Jack Skocny said.
Coach Skocny is just excited to coach his son, as Jack is to play for his dad.
“Jack is a player that has dedicated most of his life to the game of basketball,” Skocny said. “Jack has great shooting form and plays with a lot of physicality. His ability to score from anywhere makes him tough to guard.”
Jack Skocny, a 6’4” wing, who can play anywhere on the court, was one of the finalists last year for Kansas Player of the year. Jack also earned first team all-league honors, as well as multiple all-state selections.
Graduating a lot of seniors last year, Jack Skocny is looking forward to seeing how all the new talent meshes.
“The main key is staying focused and persevere through any rough patches that may come from being a slightly inexperienced team,” Jack Skocny said.
