This is how Max Beard, Greenlees Woodstock -Basketball -Basketball -Tammate from Greenlee says. The two Hoops junkies were neighbors, about three houses from each other in the Dacy Street in Woodstock.

“I have known him for about sixth grade,” said Beard. “I would go to his house and we would have hours for hours a day 1 v. 1 'went. We would get as many children as possible. He had a tire in his back yard, so we played as long as possible in summer. “

Heavy ballers clumsy.

“I won earlier,” said Greenlee, who is two classes older than beard, with a laugh. “But he has become damn good. It was always fun. It was competitive. ”

Here you can find out how much Greenlee a challenge likes. After his junior season last year, he says that Woodstock coach Ryan Starnes looked at the 140-pound string bean shooter and made it clear to him. Starnes said to Greenlee that he had to be physically stronger.

“Trainer Starnes said that if I wanted to be good … and wanted to play,” said Greenlee. “I knew it, he knew it, so I just did it. I just had to. All of my skills were there, he said. I had to get stronger. I worked on it and I did it. “

Last week, added to his 5-foot 11 frame with 10 pounds of muscles, Greenlee Woodstock basketball story. He sank his school record 95. 3 pointers of the season in the first quarter against Woodstock North and added another 3-3 victory in an overtime victory when the Blue Streaks ended the regular season.

“I would say that there is a lot in defense,” said Greenlee about the advantage of his additional muscle. “A year ago I was pushed around in defense. I would be rated a lot. Now I would say I am one of our good defenders. I can keep my own. “

Greenlee was the sixth man of Blue Streaks last season and was productive in the role, but his potential would not be achieved unless he has committed to a healthy weight.

“He came from the bank and dropped 3s on the left and right,” said Beard. “He always had a really nice shot. He always really focused on basketball, but I think the weight room separated him. He climbed into the weight room, took up his game and still concentrated on basketball. “

Last autumn, Greenlee Beard trained with the Woodstock Hoops legend and the long -time coach Marty Dello. Greenlee said he worked a lot on his shootout with Dello and still works with him on Sundays.

Basketball is the only sport that plays Greenlee in Woodstock.
