Head Coach Josh Keyes: “I can guarantee Monticello Buckaroo fans one perpetual truth: In the moments before game time, deep within the ancient stench of the boys locker room is Cache Young. He is sitting nervously, playing the game over in his head, anticipating anything and everything that is going to happen over the next 32 basketball minutes, pondering his responsibilities, and mentally preparing to give his team a chance to win in the end.
“While his teammates are stretching and dancing to a collection of tunes blasting in the locker room, Cache is dialing in to the moment and reveling in his opportunity. Cache Young is a relentless competitor who served as a central force in both our offensive and defensive production this season. While he is widely recognized as a three-point threat, his impact extends well beyond shooting.
“His off-ball movement consistently elevates his effectiveness and creates opportunities for the team. Cache rebounds at a high level and secures loose balls and steals through a combination of effort and strong basketball IQ. He demonstrates a clear understanding of the game, navigating the complexities of varsity play with notable composure.
“In key moments, Cache is a player we trust to take – and make – important shots. Rather than shying away from pressure, he embraces these opportunities with confidence. Above all, Cache is a leader and the foundational piece of the Monticello boys basketball team’s success.”
