Andover Central’s Brody Degarmo – Basketball Spotlight – Presented by Jodi Ocadiz – Shelter Insurance

The last time the Andover Central boys basketball team made the state tournament was in 2020, but Brody Degarmo is focused on ending that streak in 2025.

“As a team I want to win league, but most importantly bring another state championship back to Andover Central,” Degarmo said.

Many of the Jaguars have been playing together for many years, which is something special for Degarmo.

“I am very excited to be able to play with all my senior friends who most of them I have been playing with since elementary school,” Degarmo said.

The preparation process for Degarmo has been plain and simple throughout the offseason.

“To prepare for this year I have really focused on keeping myself in the gym, and connecting with my teammates for one last year,” Degarmo said.

Last season, as honorable mention all-league selection, Degarmo averaged eight points, three rebounds and three assists. But with all of his work in the gym and weight room, he is thinking big things for this season.

“As an individual I want to be first team all-league,” Degarmo said. “I want to improve on my abilities in the paint. I feel that working out will help me to improve down low.”
