Mulvane High School senior Trey Abasolo plays point guard for the varsity basketball team and takes pride in representing his school on and off the court.
“I take pride in representing my school and community as a whole when I play. I appreciate everyone who supports us in fundraising and coming out to games and I hope that shows in my game. I feel like we as a team owe it to the students and community members who come out and each night and support us. I’m optimistic about this year’s squad and the things we can do to win games and help the community,” said Abasolo.
The excitement and team chemistry are building around the team this season and Abasolo believes they could have a great season.
“The thing I love most about my teammates is their willingness to do the right things on and off the court. As a team I think we mesh well together. I love playing with this team and am hopeful to have a season this year. I enjoy spending time with my guys off the court as well whether it be team dinner, 2k tournaments, or just all hanging out,” said Abasolo.
The senior does have plans for life after high school. College is the top priority and Abasolo said one day he may find his way back to his alma-mater.
“After I graduate, I plan to play basketball at the next level and earn a degree in physical education. At some point down the road I want to come back to Mulvane to coach basketball and hopefully land a teaching job here. I am undecided on where I want to go to college at the moment, I am excited to see where the game takes me.”
For now, getting the season started and finishing a great career is the focus. Abasolo said the memories he’s made at Mulvane will last a lifetime.
“My favorite memory competing with this team would probably be last year against Rose Hill in our last regular season game. They had beat us at our place on our homecoming earlier in the year and we ended up beating them on their senior night. I think that game we all clicked as a team on both sides of the ball and the celebration in the locker room afterwards was probably the best one I’ve been a part of.”
