Continue ReadingAustin guard Agwa Nywesh is one of the few certain unsigned division one talents in Minnesota’s senior class at the moment.
Nywesh and the Packers are 5-1 on the season with games in the Lakeville North tournament coming up the next two days. Agwa is scoring 19 points a game with a season high of 36 in a 24 point win over Rochester John Marshall. The Packers have blown out four of their six opponents so in several games Nywesh took an early seat but upcoming games with Lakeville North and Apple Valley figure to be tougher challenges.
“The year is going good we are all working to get better as a team and build chemistry,” Nywesh said.
“Also I have been playing good I had 36 against John Marshall and the team is doing good to there’s a lot of players that are starting to step up. Okey Okey (6-foot-2 junior) and Ogur Gari (6-foot-4 senior) have stepped up tremendously.”
The Packers have five guys scoring in double figures commonly. Nywesh, junior guard Teyghan Hovland, and senior forward Moses Idris are not surprises but Okey and Gari stepping up has given Austin more depth than we had thought. The increased depth should help Nywesh and his teammates reach their goals.
“My goals as a player is to help get my team involved and make sure that we know what we are doing on offense and the defensive side of the ball,” Nywesh said. “Also being able to be seen by college coaches and boost my recruiting!”
Speaking of recruiting, a couple junior colleges have recently offered including schools in Texas and North Dakota.
“I’m looking for a team that fits and I’m comfortable there. Also a place that will help me reach my max potential. I just got an offer from Western Texas and I’m hearing from the University of Northern Iowa.”
Agwa’s brother AJ Nywesh played at UT-Martin (D1), Minnesota State-Moorhead, and Lake Region before him plus AJ was also an Austin standout and a great influence on his younger brother.
“I’ve learned a lot from him and he helps me when I’m we go to the gym to help me get better and work on my craft,” Agwa said.
Another person that has helped the game of Agwa progress? Austin Head Coach Kris Fadness.
“Fadness has been pushing me to keep my grades up and be focused in class and to help the younger guys stay on their grades as well.”
