Mountain Home Coach Josh Fulcher:
“First of all, Dewey is a great kid. Great, hard-working young [kid] that comes from a great family. He’s a stretch-4 for us. He’s been big time for us the last couple of years. He has led the 5A West last year in points and rebounds. Two years in row he’s shot over 40% from three-point. He’s first on everybody’s scout report. He’s catch and shoot, like he can stretch the floor. Tough kid. Great teammate.
"Braiden is one of the hardest working, physically tough and humble young men I've ever had the privilege to coach. His college coaches and teammates are going to love playing with him. He's a 4.0 student and comes from a basketball-minded family. His grandpa was a former Mountain Home and Cotter basketball coach.”
Off 2 U spring and summer coach Monty Patel:
“Braiden preserves culture in a program, he rides out hard times, he finds ways to get better. Dewey is a winner and wherever he lands, they will be lucky to have him.”
