Q&A with Waukon athlete Michael Sweeney (On New Hampton, recruiting, districts, MORE)

[LukeFeddersen]

How is the basketball season going?
"Some games we are doing alright but it just depends on how we are doing. Our record doesn't show how good we are doing. We are losing some of the games in the fourth quarter so we have to finish."

What can your team improve on?
"I feel like we can get a lot better inside and moving without the ball. We are doing a lot of standing and watching."

What do you know about your next opponent in New Hampton?
"They are really good. We played them a while ago and they beat us."

How do you feel about your district draw and who is the toughest competition in there?
"I'd say the toughest competition in there is probably Beckman. We play Monticello in the first round. If we beat them, we'd get Cascade and that will be another tough game."

Do you have a favorite sport?
"No, I like them both equally. It depends on the season."

What colleges have been recruiting you?
"I have heard from Northwestern in Minnesota and Loras. That is about it."

Have you made any college trips yet?
"No, I haven't been on any yet."

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
"I like UNI but I don't really have a favorite."
