Player of the year Armando Bacot became a quicker, more able defender
Posted Apr 2, 2018
Armando Bacot is a 6-foot-10, 238-pound junior, and his size has always been an advantage. But he hasn’t always been fast enough. As a freshman, he was too slow to play perimeter defense, and smaller players would blow past him. His lack of speed kept him from starting. So Bacot committed to get faster and more agile. He started running 1 mile on the track after school.
