Daily News | West Catholic forward Zion Stanford, a Temple commit, is a pillar to the Burrs’ program
Inside the wooden doors of West Catholic Preparatory High Schools’ gym, the boys’ basketball team is holding an offseason practice. The chatter is loud. Some players are on the sidelines doing push-ups after a missed shot and others are rushing to get back in line for another rep.
Less than a 15 minute drive from his West Philly home to North Broad, Stanford decided to stay close to home and play college basketball at Temple, becoming coach Aaron McKie’s“I noticed there was a great bond, like with the coaches and the players,” Stanford said about his unofficial visit to Temple. “They all just love each other. I felt like the energy they brought, I could adapt to them a lot.
“He just played the right way,” Bocachica said. “There was never an issue about whether he was getting a shot or if he was playing X amount of minutes. He kind of just played. Being in that position is what stood out to Bocachica, who first met Stanford when he was in seventh grade during a workout session at West Catholic. He knew there was something special about Stanford, when he started to move like a wing, grabbing the ball off the rim and moving it around.
West Catholic then made a 12-1 leap last season, where Stanford averaged 14.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assist per game, while shooting 59.6% from the floor and 36.7% from three-point range.
