The Campus Colts aim to build on last season’s success, even after the departure of key players Kaason Thomas and Andrell Burton, who are now continuing their athletic careers at Coffeyville and South Dakota State. Losing two top-tier talents is never easy, but the Colts remain focused on a return to the state
tournament.
One senior who will make an even bigger impact from his role last season is Landon Brown, a starter who was an honorable mention all-league kid a season ago.
“Some personal goals are to be named to the AVCTL first team and help the young guys become better players daily,” Brown said. “A team goal is definitely to make it back to state. It was a great experience last year, and I want to feel it again.”
Brown is a reliable scorer for the team, known for his catch-and-shoot abilities and smart decision-making on the court. Last season, he averaged 7.1 points per game, consistently providing a dependable shooting option. His knack for making the right play and staying a threat beyond the arc makes him a valuable asset for the Colts as they look to make another strong push this season.
In addition to his impact on the court, Brown excels academically, maintaining an impressive 4.4 GPA and ranking in the top 10% of his class. His dedication in the classroom matches his commitment on the court, making him a true student-athlete who leads by example.
“To have such good grades just allows the younger kids to look up to me not only on the court but in the classroom as well,” Brown said.
