After scoring almost 12 points per game and grabbing three rebounds per game, Boston Ekart from Sterling has made a statement that he is one of the best athletes in the state.
“He obviously has the physical tools that most kids don’t,” head coach Derek Schneider said. “He is long and athletic, and has a great jumping ability and great body control. He is also a tireless worker, doesn’t mind coming in and grinding for hours on end, he has an incredible ability to flush the bad and focus his attention on the next play.”
Ekart helped lead Sterling to a 22-4 record last year while being named to the first team all-league and second team all-state teams. But for the junior that doesn’t mean anything if he doesn’t win a state championship this year.
Ekhart has played basketball his whole life but didn’t start taking it serious until recently and will continue to do so as he wants to play at the next level wherever he gets the opportunity to.
“My team goal is to win state and I want to be a leader by leading by example like if the game isn’t going good stay positive and try to keep everyone else positive,” Ekart said.
