Earning first team all-league, second team all-state and first team for the Dodge City Tournament, Heights’ Chase Robinson is going to play a major role in the success of the Falcons this year.
“Arguably one of the best players in Kansas the second half of the season,” Head coach Joe Auer said about Robinson, who is a point guard who can play all five positions on the floor.
“One of the most versatile players I have coached during my career,” Auer also said about Robinson.
Robinson, who last year averaged 13.5 points per game, 2.7 assist and 5.8 rebounds, is determined to keep working and make a name for himself.
“In the offseason I started training with my trainer three times a week. On my off days that I don’t have training, I like to go to the YMCA and get a lift in & get more shots up after I get done lifting,” Robinson said.
Robinson, who Coach Auer describes as a “close to the vest” type of person, has made it a priority to be a vocal leader on the court this year.
“During the summer when we were back with the team I was just working on being the loudest on the court at all time and encouraging my teammates when they would make a mistake & get down on themselves,” Robinson said. “I also practiced bringing the energy to every practice and workout session we had this summer. Overall just doing whatever I can do to better myself and my teammates so we have a great upcoming season.
