Goodbary has been apart of some of the great Chargers teams that have gone undefeated in the regular season. Last season he averaged 12.6 points on 54 percent shooting. He was apart of a starting lineup that all averaged about the same points, so it was tough to game plan against them because you couldn’t target one or even two people. He averaged just over 7 boards, 2.4 assists, and 1.5 steals a game. He helped lead his team to an undefeated regular season and a third-place finish at state.
