The Eisenhower connection proved to be beneficial for Pierce Blue over the offseason as a former Tiger player trained Blue.
“I trained a lot with an ex-Eisenhower, pro player overseas named Trevon Evans,” Blue said. “He helped me with a lot of footwork and helped shaped all parts of my game.”
Blue averaged nearly 14 points per game last season, as well seven rebounds. But there was a specific area of his game he wanted to improve on for the 2025 season.
“One area I’m trying to improve on would be rim attacks,” Blue said. “I worked really hard on footwork and hopefully have some better footwork now. I also worked on my finishing to improve on this as well. I continue to work on it to this day to be the best I can for the season.”
For Blue, the game day atmospheres are second to none and he is ready for those feels again.
“There’s nothing like playing a game where you have a crowd cheering or booing you,” Blue said. “I just really enjoy that environment compared to summer ball. That’s why I’m most excited for the games this year.”
The hope is that Blue and the Tigers can quickly gel so they can be a factor in AVCTL Division II.
“Some goals I have for the season are I would love for the team to win league this season,” Blue said. “I hope we can do this through a good team chemistry and hard work. I feel that our team can be really good if we come together and I’m super excited to see what we can become.”
