First, and foremost, he had enjoyed wonderful careers in football and basketball. If he had chose to play baseball, he would have put stellar years together for that sport as well. However, he re-wrote two history books with his records in football and basketball, and will be a Vinton County Athletic Hall of Famer in the very near future.

But, I will say that had nothing to do with his age, he was same athlete at 15 that he is at 19, but what it does have to do with it, is his work ethic. The young man worked his tail off, hundreds of trips to ApPrep in Chillicothe, being in the gym shooting basketballs, throwing routes to his brother and teammates, and most importantly, watching what he put into his body. He does not drink soda, his does not eat high sugar and/or process foods, he pays attention to his nutrition which is extremely rare for a kid his age.

He is also a 4.0 student, academically, his red-shirt year helped. Because of this, he could take the "preferred walk-on" position at Ohio University. He turned down several DII offers so that he could be near his family and reach his goal.

He had a goal in middle-school, he knew what it would take to get there, and he did it. He wanted to be a DI athlete, and he wanted to go to medical school, and he wanted to get it paid for, how was he going to do that? Just the way he did.

Now that he is a part of the Bobcat family, they have no idea of what, or who they are getting. He will be all-in, he will continue to work his tail off, he will get better, and I would not be surprised if he is not breaking records at Ohio University. If not, he will still be Dr. Yates.

I was told by someone at the sports banquet last night at Vinton Co, that it was said Naylan set school record most threes--just wonder how many did he take? and what was his% rate for makes, had to be under 25%---does anyone know?

Raider was right last season the fellow is fantastic.. The Big H playing hard every night. Hats off to coaching staff. 15 and 3 since they were forced to make changes last season.

I don’t see a ton of Athens but when I do Hynes is the guy killing the other team

So your answer as to who is leading should be the leading scorer in TVC games from the team with the best record so far. Maybe 93Bulldog can help or Lukas Moore. They should have the statistics on who the leading scorer has been in the 4 TVC games so far.
