Ward is a triple threat scorer that is simply lethal from midrange. He also finishes with strong authority when attacking the rim. He gets after it under the boards and he can also drop dimes. Last, but not least, he is a defensive stud.
This past season, Ward averaged 21.6 points (454 pts. total), 8.9 rebounds (187 total), 4.4 assists (92 total), and 3.0 steals( 63 total) He is a stat sheet stuffer, and an elite game changer. Last season, his team lost in the sectional playoffs to a team who he feels they absolutely could’ve beat. Building on the emotion and lessons learned through that loss, he has been working extremely hard to make sure that history doesn’t repeat itself. This upcoming season, the goal is to make a state run.
Playing AAU for West Virginia Reign, he strongly focused on getting better on defense, as well as worked on his handles. This kid loves playing defense because he loves when he is able to shut down his opponent, and get into their head. On the flip side, he is impossible to rattle. When things aren’t going his way during a game, he is able to take a deep breath and focus on the task at hand.
When asked what a coach can expect from him, he said “I love to play defense, but I will also make my shots and grab rebounds.” This kid just loves the game and he plays with a relentless energy. His dream is to play the game at the next level. My personal assessment is that he is already establishing himself as an up and coming rising star. His versatility is insane for his size. I will definitely be checking him out this season! He is another WV savvy Guard whose stock is set to explode! Buckle up!
