"We always try to recruit kids that we think are going to be good players and good students," WC head coach Jerry Scheve said. "When they get here, we expect them to do well in the classroom. These kids are all outstanding students; they are all serious about their education, as well as their basketball. All four of these kids started every game for us this season.
