COLUMBIA — Rock Bridge boys basketball coach Jim Scanlon said he considers senior Jordan Dressler a significant advantage for his team. In the past three years, Scanlon has seen Dressler develop physically and watched his fundamental techniques improve.
With three years of experience as a varsity starter, Scanlon looks to Dressler for leadership. Scanlon describes Dressler as a “humble, quiet leader," and says his dedication in practice has influenced the team’s less experienced players.
“Younger players have seen how good he is and how much he has worked to be good,” Scanlon said. “Our younger post players respect him and learn to work from what he’s done in practice.”
Rock Bridge senior guard Skylar Tolson says away from basketball, Dressler is "a very laid-back kid."
