Ryan’s Relentlessness: MWF Player of the Week

ryan-young

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.
