After graduating quite a few seniors, Campus’ Jalen Clark knew this was going to be the year he needed to help bring success to the team, both on and off the court. Only a junior, Clark was ready to take on a leadership role this season.
“A goal for this season, we’re a super young team, so our goal is to get better from game to game and keep improving,” Clark said. “Individually I just want to step up and be a leader on this team.”
To prepare for the season, Clark and the rest of the Colts did what every team does best; working all offseason training night in and night out together.
“We prepared for the season by working out and conditioning,” Clark said. “As for me individually, I wanted to improve all aspects of my game and continue to get stronger.”
While this year may look a little different, Clark is looking forward to taking the court with some fresh experience.
“I’m most excited for it just being a new group of guys,” Clark said. “It’s a fresh start for campus basketball.”
After high school, Clark has aspirations to continue playing the sport he loves, while also furthering his school and education along the way.
“For my future I want to go play college basketball and get my degree,” Clark said.
