After going just 12-10 last season, Maize South’s Cy Stucky has one goal for the 2025 Mavericks.
“As a team, we have the goal of winning a state championship,” Stucky said. “If the whole team buys in and we all work hard to be the best we can, I definitely think that a championship is in reach.”
Stucky’s teammates Tucker Lowe agreed with him plus some.
“I want to win a league and state championship and go undefeated,” Lowe said.
Lowe has the reputation of being a shooter, but it’s the other end of the floor where he wants to get better.
“I want to improve on my on ball defense and picking up guards full court so getting quicker is helping with that,” Lowe said.
Stucky, who has committed to Washburn, averaged nearly 14 points per game, still wants to become more efficient on the offensive side of the floor.
“One area I’m really looking to improve this year is my finishing around the rim,” Stucky said. “This offseason I have just worked on different types of finishes, and getting lots and lots of reps around the rim.”
The Mavericks return everyone from last season’s team and for that reason, Stucky is excited to get back on the court.
“I am most excited for the upcoming season because everybody is coming back,” Stucky said. “We didn’t have any seniors last year, so our whole varsity team and upcoming JV players are coming back. Everybody is stronger, faster, and better now which will help us build on our chemistry from last year, and make us a better team.”
With all of the talent returning Lowe, is ready to lace his shoes up again with his teammates.
“I am excited to compete with my team and try to win a state championship,” Lowe said.
