Zander Harris lights up the court

CVHS has had many great basketball players and performances but Zander Harris has been a leader of the team and one of the greatest. Harris has played for three years on varsity as a point guard and shooting guard and is currently a junior.

Harris’ best performance was on senior night while CVHS was down by nine in the third quarter he hit six consecutive three pointers in the fourth quarter to make the game competitive again. While the Trojans ultimately lost the game in overtime, Harris’ efforts took a game that would’ve been a blow out and took it to a one point overtime loss with heroic shooting and passing. 

“I taught myself how to play basketball. I’ve been playing since I don’t know when, and it separates me from real life; it’s like meditation,” said Harris.

“I didn’t expect it, I just came in with a lot of confidence and knew what I needed to,” said Harris when asked if he expected his 37 point performance on senior night. “I felt let down because we should’ve won. I had went home and thought about how the whole situation went down. I was proud of myself. I had to keep my team motivated even though we lost.”

Harris has received much credit for his performances. Most recently, he was the only Trojan to make All WACC first team for basketball. 

“Keep chasing your dreams no matter what because all you gotta do is the same thing that you love all the time and you’ll see improvement. So, do everything you love to do because life is short,” said Harris. 

Harris is a great teammate, a great competitor and a great player, and that’s why everyone should be excited for his senior season next year where he can get even better at all three.
