The BANkz Star Watch: Sparrow is Flying High!!!
Coach Kelly Growden of the Ben Eielson Ravens has a gem at floor general in Sr. PG Devante Sparrow. Though only standing at only 5-6, Sparrow can play the game with the best of Alaska, and what he lacks in height he makes up for in speed, intelligence and toughness. This Tajaun Porter clone does a everything for the Ravens, whether it is putting up buckets, dropping the dime to a cutting teammate, or even going and grabbing a rebound from among the trees.
This season has started great for senior PG Devante Sparrow as he has lead his troops to a 3-0 start. In the first 3 games, he has averaged 19.6 pts , 4.3 rebs , 7.2 asts per outing. He is averaging this by shooting nearly 59% from the field and about 42% from beyond the arc. With some seasoning and some long hours in the weightroom, Sparrow will definitely be a steal for a coach.
