Alphonso Crawford Phonsy spent last season improving his game on our junior varsity team and is excited about the opportunity to contribute to the varsity team this season as our starting 5 man. He is long, has good footwork in the paint and not only is Phonsy the Tigers best post defender he also might be one of the best perimeter defenders with his length and ability to move his feet. Not only does Phonsy rarely make a mistake on the court he knows our system at all five positions offensively and defensively. He brings cohesiveness and a tremendous amount of leadership to our team and program. |

Kendall Collins Kendall, a junior, is a physically gifted athlete. His vertical leap and raw strength alone puts himself in a position to be successful when on the court. Since his freshmen year Kendall has improved probably just as much as anyone in our program. Kendall had himself a great summer and has a knack for grabbing rebounds on both ends of the court. The coaches are excited to see Kendall continue to improve over this season and next. |

Larz Huerta - Larz, a senior, is back in the Tiger's basketball program as he played for us as a freshmen. Larz is a very intelligent student and the same goes for when he is on the court. Larz always plays within himself on the court and just seems to not make mistakes on the court. Larz is a very dependable player and the coaching staff is looking for Larz to provide some stability and leadership to our varsity team. |

DJ Hurd
DJ is a junior and this is his first year on the varsity. DJ understands
our system well and has been part of Gilbert basketball and its camps for
as long as I can remember. There is no flash in DJ’s game - just results.
When DJ is on the court he seems to always make the correct play on both
sides of the ball. DJ is very competitive and look for DJ to provide some
stability when on the court. |

Freddie Lash
Freddie is an athletic
and hard working athlete. He began last season on our junior varsity squad
and did an excellent job for that team. Just prior to the holiday break it
was decided that Freddie had the talent and drive to contribute to our
varsity squad. This year Freddie is going to add needed ball handling,
play making and scoring for the Tigers. Freddie has worked hard on
developing a consistent perimeter shot. We look forward to seeing Freddie
develop in our program over the next two years. |

Cody Martin Cody is one of the best athletes on the varsity team. Cody's growth both physically and mentally has really come on strong over the last year. Cody is a strong player on the court who can really cause problems when defending the ball and getting in passing lanes. Cody is also a rebounding machine. When the ball is in the air Cody is all over it. Look for Cody to help the Tigers in many facets of the game including rebounding, defense and play making on the offensive end. |
|||||
Jaz Montford Jaz, a junior, loves basketball and is a hard working player. Since entering our program as a freshman, he has willingly participated in all that has been asked of him. Jaz has a very good outside shot and when he can get his feet set the ball usually finds the bottom of the net. As Jaz continues to get physically stronger he will see success in many other aspects of his game. Jaz is a very dependable player and student who will provide some stability on our team.. |

Mitch Reber
Mitch is
entering his second season as a varsity player. He steadily earned himself
more playing time on our varsity team last year to the point where he
started for us late in the season. He has continued to make progress
throughout the summer and fall both on the court and in the weight room.
Mitch has good size, a solid perimeter shot and is one of the better rebounders on both ends of the floor for us. Mitch continues to work hard
and does whatever is needed for the Tigers. |

Donte Robinson Donte spent last season improving his game on our junior varsity team and is excited about the opportunity to contribute to the varsity team this season. He is long, has good shooting range and he is a good quick jumper which allows him to grab boards that others just can't. Donte has been working on his post game as the Tigers are in need of some additional help in the trenches. He brings cohesiveness to our team and program. |
|||||
James Wirthlin James is a senior and enters his second year on the varsity. Not only has James been a part of our basketball program over his four years, he has also been on the football team, volleyball team and student council. There are truly not enough hours in the week for James. He is a tough and gritty player who regularly sells out for the team. At James' size he has the ability to guard bigger players by determination, will and technique. Look to see James help the Tigers defensively and doing the little things to help the Tigers be successful. |
