Joseph King reveals his inspiration to play basketball at HHS.
What inspired you to start playing basketball?
My family inspired me to play basketball. Everywhere we went there was basketball and I fell in love.
How do you balance sports with schoolwork?
I balance sports and schoolwork by trying to finish all my work in class and during lunch then studying after practice for 30 minutes a day.
How have you stepped up this year as a senior leader on the team?
I stepped up as a senior leader in aspects of trying to keep everyone’s heads up when they mess up, bringing everyone into the game plan as a team and leading by example on and off the court.
What’s your favorite part about playing basketball for Helena?
My favorite part about playing for Helena I’d say is playing with my close friends that feel like family.
Has there ever been a coach or mentor who made a big impact on you? What did they teach you?
My dad as a coach has made the biggest impact on me. He taught me every skill I have, but not only that, he showed me how to think about the game and how to see the game.
What do you do in your free time outside of school and sports?
Outside of school and sports, I spend time hanging out with my friends and my girlfriend or at home with family.
As a senior, what legacy do you hope to leave behind at Helena High School?
As a senior, I hope to leave a legacy of being a great all-around player and student but also three-time area champions and 6A state champions.
