“Tyler was amazing this year. He is able to influence the game from the defensive end of the floor. Everyone talks about his offensive skills, and deservedly so, but his defensive skills on reading the next play, guarding hard both on and off the ball and his overall instincts are second to none.”

Kevin Maggard

Head Coach - head coach of Christ Presbyterian Academy
