Sonny Styles has helped lead Pickerington Central to the regional final of the Ohio high school playoffs in his last basketball season before his Ohio State football career begins.
Pickerington Central leading scorer Devin Royal, who has more than a dozen Division I basketball offers including one from Ohio State, said the energy and athleticism Styles brings to the Tigers has played a crucial role in their success this season.
“I haven’t really got to experience a state championship while I’m actually playing, so I’m trying to do that this year,” Styles said after Wednesday night’s regional semifinal win. “I think we’ve got a special group, we’re real bonded together, we’ve got our own little swag and we’ve gotten different guys to step up each night.”
“I think we want to take this season to its last breath as much as we can. You want to know it’s your last game, you know it’s your last game if you get all the way. So we’re gonna keep fighting,” Styles said. “I’m excited to come play with them here in a few months, but it means a lot for them to come out and support,” Styles said. “Sometimes you commit and they forget about you, that’s not how it is at Ohio State. The relationship’s still going.”
“I think just moving laterally, guarding man-to-man,” Styles said when asked how he thinks basketball translates to football. “A lot of times, I'm chasing around the best player most of the game. So that helps a lot with conditioning, just the competitive atmosphere, just staying in something, being active.”
Royal appreciates how committed Styles has remained to their team this season despite his decision to reclassify and begin his college football career early.
