Chris Livingston Gatorade 2020 - 2021: Player of the Year Boys Basketball

“Chris Livingston is one of the most explosive and powerful athletes in the junior class. Physically imposing at the small forward position, he loves to play downhill and attack the rim. What makes him a standout at this early age is his ability to take a hit with a knack for finishing in traffic. He’s active on the boards, he’s an improving shooter and he’s a future lock-down defender on the perimeter.”
