“Trendon has the ability to play inside or outside. He can shoot the 3 and is a great finisher around the basket, even against bigger players, plus he plays the point against the press. But his greatest assets are his passion and his leadership.”
Donnie Quinn
Head Coach - Head coach of Spain Park High
