Durant Lions Basketball Team – Presented by Conley Care Clinic

DURANT LIONS 

BOYS 

Coach: AARON GEORGE

23-24 Record: 7-16

Head Coach Aaron George is heading into the season with optimism and confidence in his team’s potential. “This team will be competitive,” George said. “Our great senior leadership is going to be a big part of what makes us a good team. They’re coachable, work hard, and are an enjoyable group of young men to coach.” After a 7-16 record last season, coach George believes this team’s dedication and maturity will make a difference on the court.

Leading the Lions is senior Ryder Jones (6-0, SG, Sr.), who averaged 12.3 points and 4 rebounds per game last season. Jones’s skill and experience make him an invaluable offensive weapon. Alongside him is Callaway Nabors (6-3, PF, Sr.), a 4.0 student who embodies the team spirit with his willingness to play the big man position. “Callaway has to play our big man position and never complains. He plays extremely hard, has a great attitude, and is an outstanding team player,” Coach George explained. “He would shine as a 3 or 4 man. He is capable of playing D3 or junior college ball.”

Senior Kolton Mason (5-10, SG, Sr.) adds to the Lions’ scoring depth, contributing 6.4 points and 3 rebounds per game. In the junior class, Tashawn Williams (6-2, SG, Jr.) will be an integral part of the lineup, averaging 9.1 points and 5 rebounds last season. His athleticism and court awareness are sure to give the Lions an edge. The Lions also have a promising underclassman group, including Joseph Flores (5-8, PG, So.), a versatile playmaker averaging 4.1 points per game. Carson Robinson (6-1, PF, So.) rounds out the roster with his physical presence and 4.2 points per game. With a challenging schedule ahead, the Durant Lions are set for growth and development. Coach George and his team are ready to face the season’s demands, focusing on building a foundation of teamwork and determination. Having a renewed focus and strong leadership, the Durant Lions are gearing up for a promising 2024 season.
