Ell-Saline’s Trey Williams – Athlete Spotlight – Presented by Berry Material Handling

By Cooper Chadwick

Last year Trey Williams averaged 12 points per game along with six rebounds and is hoping to perform even better in hopes of playing collegiate ball.

Being a key player for Ell-Saline for the last three seasons, head coach Marty Wendel has high hopes for Williams senior year.

“He might be one of the best all-around basketball players I have had the opportunity to coach. Trey is extremely competitive on both ends of the floor. He can guard at all five positions if needed and is a walking bucket anytime we need one. Trey has a bright future in this game and I am excited to see what he can do for us his senior year and what he is able to achieve at the next level in the coming years,” Wendel said.

Williams, a small forward, has spent tons of time this offseason in the gym preparing for his senior year.

“I definitely want to improve on getting to the rim and being more explosive, and have better man up defense,” Williams said. “I’ve been in the gym working on ways to get to the rim.”

Williams is excited to play his senior year with the guys he has been playing with his whole life, and he has big goals for himself and the team.

“I would like to average 17 and 8 this year and hopefully make it back to state,” Williams said. “My motivation is realizing how much fun it was and I want to experience that again.”
