AL PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: '22 Guard Kolby Horace
The Game of Kolby Horace
Kolby Horace is one of the most charismatic players in the state. He plays with a lot of energy and gives the right amount of flash on the court. Deemed with the nickname “Hollywood,” Horace definitely knows how to put on a show.
Standing at 6-foot-3, this Spanish Fort guard is an all-around player that gives a 100% on each possession. Horace is a solid playmaker and does an excellent job facilitating to his teammates. He has great confidence with pulling up from deep range and can be explosive getting to the rim.
As Horace gets prepared for the regular season, he stated that he spent the summer improving his midrange, his shot beyond the three, and his stamina to play a full 32 minutes.
As an athlete, the most important quality is having self-awareness about what can be improved about one’s game. One thing that Horace would like to improve on is being more mentally focused.
He stated that scoring and seeing the floor comes easiest to him on the floor.
