“I want to be the leader on the team, so that’s something I’ve been working on.  Just communication, being the guy in the gym that everybody can look up to and talk to.  I just want to be that teammate.”

The Indians boys’ open their 2019-20 season on Tuesday, December 3at Fairfield.  Remember, you can hear Oskaloosa Indians boys and girls’ basketball all season long on KBOE-FM.
