The game is slowing down for Archbishop Ryan junior Darren Williams.
After being a defensive specialist during his freshman season, Williams turned into a second-team all-Catholic League player last year. The shooting guard averaged 12 points, 4 rebounds and two assists per game, helping Ryan make it to the Catholic League championship. Williams flashed his potential, scoring 20 points against Archbishop Wood in the quarterfinals.
After an improved sophomore campaign, Williams has taken another step this season. The junior’s all-around game has gotten better, sacrificing more and doing the little things to help his team win. WIlliams was everywhere in Ryan’s 62-44 victory over Archbishop Carroll on Tuesday, recording 19 points, eight rebounds, six assists and four steals.
“It always happens in your second year, playing varsity level in the PCL,” Ryan head coach Joe Zeglinski said.
