Gavyn is an explosive triple-threat scorer who can light up defenders with his nasty first step and sneaky speed. He’s a scoring machine with a smooth jumper that’s as lethal as his ability to attack the rim. Pick your poison because.

And just when you think you’ve figured him out, he’s locking down your best player on the other end of the court. Gavyn is fearless, hungry, and downright ruthless.
Last year, Gavyn was good. This year, he’s unstoppable. He’s gone from averaging 9.8 points to a dazzling 25 points per game. He’s not just scoring more—he’s doing it in style, dishing out 3.4 assists, grabbing 6.2 rebounds, swiping 2.5 steals, and blocking 1.3 shots a night.

Although Gavyn is still working on perfecting that pull-up jumper and tightening his defensive swagger, his progress is undeniable. He’s going from being a standout player to someone you can’t take your eyes off when he steps on the court.
Gavyn’s biggest highlight so far is being a part of Lake City's second-place finish at state last year as a freshman starter. Now, Gavyn is determined to get back to the state and take home that chip.Gavyn is s looking forward to the game with Caledonia standing in the way as the team to beat. Gavyn knows it’ll take hard-nosed defense and teamwork to make another deep playoff run, and he’s ready for the challenge.

When things get tough, Gavyn takes a deep breath and digs in harder. He’s got a quiet but relentless drive, fueled by advice that’s stuck with him: “Keep your head up and work hard no matter what happens.”
