It has been a long road for Drew Young at Hays High. But at the same time, the journey went very quickly. In the fall of 2015 Young broke his ankle playing dunk ball at a friend’s house. That injury help him realize something though. Young realized how much basketball meant to him and how important it was to put in the effort to continue his playing days behind high school.

On Friday Young inked his letter of intent to play for Colby Community College just down Interstate 70 from Hays. This past season Young was second on the team in scoring at 12 per game, lead the team in assists at 4.6 per contest, was second in steals and first in charges taken. Young scored in double figures fifteen times his senior season and eighteen in his career. Young also finished just outside the top 20 in career assists despite logging just 46 games.

Young says he will be hitting the weight room to add muscle, improve his quickness and speed of his shooting release before heading to Colby in August.
