HoosierHillsHoops.com: The clock is unwinding on your senior season at Seymour. What are your goals for the final weeks of your high school basketball career?

Kyle Fellows: The main thing we’re focused on is getting on a roll these last few games to build confidence going into the tournament. We need to figure out the right formula to win, regardless of the final score. We have been close in almost every game, so we need to get over that hump.

A personal goal of mine would be to impress a college coach and have them give me the opportunity to play at the next level.
