Brussels (NBC 26) – Drew Drew to Southern Door will go down as one of the best basketball players in high school in Wisconsin history, but no matter how many shots he does, everything he cares about is a deep run.
“I have the impression that his shirt will be disconnected in the rafters,” said coach Eagles Josh Vandenbush.
“Nobody can guard him – not even close,” said Daust’s best friend and teammate, senior guard Caden Pierre.
“It helps when you have a guy like Drews there,” said brother and assistant coach Dausta for Eagles, Alex Daust.
If you ask your coaches, teammates, and even his brother, everyone knew that Drew Daust would be a special player when he was in the 8th grade.
“8. The class, when we won the state championship – could be said very early, “said Pierre.
“(He) won the Junior High School Championship and Drew scored 40 points and such things,” said Vandenbush. “We knew he would be able to score a goal, we didn’t know that it would be a translator so well at high school level. “
From there, he raised the ranks of a state of scoring. Reaching over 1000 points scored by the end of the second year, over 2000 in the junior season, and now there is only 132 from 3000.
“My mentality is simply to go to the second team,” said Daust. “I really don’t care who is watching me. I am not saying that it is conceited or something like that, but I really think that no one can guard me. “
On January 30, he became the second versatile shooter against Brillion. Daust only the Anthony Pieper trail from Wausaukee, which ended 3391 points 32 years ago.
“I tried to understand this several times how many people played basketball boys in Wisconsin,” said Eagles. “To be the second time, it’s like Waah. It also has a lot of pressure – I just try to deal with it and then focus on the team. “
What people do not see is countless hours of wood that devoted their time to improve his craft. Most of them concern his brother Alex, who is also an assistant to the coach.
“The freshman until younger was almost every night in summer for two hours,” said Alex. Sometimes we went to the gym at 9, 10 to get it. To be truthful, they just fell in love with this process and that’s why he is a player he is. “
As for what drives it, these are not records or putting as many points as possible. Daust says: it’s a community, his team and Eagle players who came to him.
“You see our games, you know that there are a lot of members’ communities, there are plenty of former players who come and watch,” said Daust. “They depend on you and your team to continue the foundations they put.”
The obligation of the UW-Stevens Point said that the ultimate goal is to say, and one thing that a multiplayer star did is to enjoy every moment of his special southern door career, that, as his trainer said, he will probably have his shirt on one day of the rafter.
“I really can’t even understand my T -shirt – No. 1 (as a) first graders, disconnected,” said Daust.
