This week’s Midwest-Family Player of the Week is Ryan Young, a senior from Buchanan High School and member of the boys varsity basketball team.
Last season, Young broke his ankle in the second game of the season and spent the next 8-9 months rehabbing.
This season, Young is more than making up for missing his junior season.
After Buchanan started the season on a slow 1-5 start, Young has helped the Bucks quickly turn things around, now winning their previous 6 games to bring them above .500, and peaking at the right time. A major part of the team’s turnaround has been the incredible performances of Ryan Young.
Last week:
1/25 vs Constantine: 21 points and 13 rebounds. W 64-33
1/26 @ Michigan Lutheran: 41 points and 25 rebounds. W 76-38
1/28 vs Berrien Springs: 31 points and 21 rebounds. W 61-36
Young’s 41 points against ML is tied for the 4th highest point total in Buchanan history.
Ryan has been a member of the Varsity team for 3 seasons and also participates in Cross Country.
