Noah shoots it wirh a smooth touch from deep, defends with energy, rebounds with grit, and plays with a coachable mindset that helps him grow week after week. He competes with a steady edge, stays active in passing lanes, and brings a quiet fire that fits perfectly with the identity of his team.

This season, he has been averaging 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.1 steals, shooting 32 percent from three, 75 percent from the line, and stacking 46 pass deflections. And this week, he delivered the biggest spark of his young career, exploding for 42 points on a school record 11 made threes. It was the perfect example of what happens when his confidence takes over, and his teammates keep finding him in rhythm. His improvement since last year shows up everywhere, especially in how sure of himself he has become as a shooter and defender. His offseason goals include tightening his handle, building confidence getting downhill, expanding his finishing bag, and becoming more vocal as a leader.

Being moved up to varsity was a major step for Noah, pushing him to elevate his approach and intensity. Now he is fully locked in on helping his team chase a district title and push deeper into the playoffs. Lorena and La Vega bring out the competitive fire in him, and he embraces those rivalry moments. Getting into the opposing team’s top player head and answering with tough shots is what fuels him. When facing adversity, he doesn’t let it take over his thoughts. He resets, stays calm, and keeps hooping.

He carries the core messages from his dad and coaches — “shooters shoot,” “play with confidence,” and “play like you have a chip on your shoulder.” Off the court, he enjoys hanging out with friends, spending time with family, and staying around the game as much as possible. He has interest in Langston, Henderson State, Our Lady of the Lake, and Hardin Simmons as he continues building toward the future.

I assess that Noah brings reliable scoring, fierce defensive instincts, and high effort that help elevate a college program. His ability to stretch the floor, disrupt guards, and play with confidence gives coaches a guard who instantly adds toughness and spark to a lineup.

Noah is rising quickly. As he keeps developing his handles, finishing package, and leadership voice, he will grow into a strong two-way guard who can impact games on both ends. His shooting already makes him dangerous. With his work ethic and mindset, he has the potential to become a steady, momentum-shifting threat moving forward. Stay tuned.
