“I feel it’s more like a family,” he mentioned of the scholars he’s met alongside the way in which. “I feel like it’s my second home. Good, bad, they’re always going to support me. They always have my back. They’re like my brothers and sisters.”

His mom and father used to play basketball, so he was drawn to the game. It has grow to be greater than a ardour. Basketball means every thing to him.

It’s nearly the identical together with his coach, in order that’s one purpose they know one another so effectively.

“He’s a Steph Curry fan,” Bennett mentioned. “He’s a maniac when it comes to sports. When it’s basketball time, he’s fully focused and locked in. He takes it to another level. He actually told us, say we win and play another game in a couple days, he sets a timer to go off when he can start looking at the next game.”

“I was the bench guy,” Bennett mentioned. “I learned about leadership, how to stay focused, how to stay comfortable in big games. It’s OK to have nerves. It’s how mentally I can stay in the game.”

The following season he was a part of the identical group that remained shut on and off the courtroom. Now Bennett is the one setting the instance for others.

“He was our backup point guard his sophomore year,” Kopooshian mentioned. “He came into his junior year and was the leader for a young team. We returned everyone this year.
