Goose Creek Memorial men's basketball is rolling this season, sitting currently in third in district play at 7-2 with just a few weeks to go in the regular season.
One of the players that has been a key to the success of the Patriots has been Donald Coleman, who is second on the team in scoring at 13.3 points per game. He is also grabbing 4.8 boards per game.
VYPE recently caught up with the junior to learn more about him.
VYPE: Favorite Nickname and how did you get it?
Coleman: My favorite nickname is 2Cole (too cold) and I got it one day in the car when I and my family was deciding what to put on my middle school AAU team warmup shirt.
VYPE: Why do you wear the jersey number you do?
Coleman: The first jersey I've ever played in was 1, so I've stuck with it ever since but my high school does not have 1 so I got the closest thing to it with 11.
VYPE: What do you do when you all have an off night without a game?
Coleman: Normally when I have a day off I get a little strength or skill work in and then head back home and chill with the family or play a video game.
