KTGR and MU Health Care Sports Medicine are highlighting an outstanding local high school athlete each week!
This week features Columbia Independent freshman guard Heath Turner Diaz, who scored a school record 39 points against Veritas Christian on Dec. 19 in an 83-63 win. In the last two CIS games, Heath has scored a combined 56 points and is averaging 19.8 points per game this season.
“Heath has been an instant contributor to the lineup and has done an amazing job integrating himself into the varsity program as a freshman,” said CIS boys basketball coach Jeff Martin. “He sets a higher standard for himself on the court and in the classroom leading to great results for him and his teammates.”
CIS boys basketball is 3-3 so far this season. They will next play in the Madison Tournament starting Jan. 5.
