Greydon Howell, a resilient freshman from Broken Bow High School, doesn’t just juggle the rigors of academics; he thrives on the basketball court, baseball field and the track, showcasing his strength as a triple-threat athlete. As a guard on the basketball court, a center fielder and pitcher on the baseball diamond, and a sprinter on the track team, Greydon embraces the diverse challenges each sport offers.
For Greydon, the driving force behind his endeavors lies in the unity of his teammates and the guidance of his coaches. “They push me to be the best on and off the court,” he said.
Among the many influences, Greydon acknowledges his parents as paramount figures. “They’ve made sacrifices that helped me out a ton,” he shared, recognizing the unwavering support that has shaped his athletic pursuits.
To taste success, Greydon has faced and conquered pain, navigating through a series of injuries that tested his resilience. “It took pain, for one. There’s been a bunch of injuries I have/had to play with,” he said.
In his basketball career, one performance stands out—the night Greydon orchestrated a 42-point masterpiece against a formidable Hugo team, etching a highlight in his athletic portfolio.
When it comes to opponents, Greydon finds joy in every triumph, relishing each win as a testament to the collective effort of the team. “There’s not just one opponent because every win feels amazing,” he said, savoring the sweet taste of victory.
Greydon’s engagement extends beyond the sports realm. He marches to the beat of the Savage Pride Marching Band, participates in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and contributes to the Savior of the Savages.
In the digital sphere, Greydon finds inspiration in the indomitable spirit of Russell Westbrook. “It would have to be Russell Westbrook. He constantly gets hate he doesn’t deserve but it doesn’t faze him. I like his fashion, too,” he said, highlighting Westbrook’s resilience in the face of criticism.
Representing Broken Bow High School comes with a profound sense of pride for Greydon. “It comes with a lot of pride. You never want to let the people watching and keeping up with you down,” he affirmed, embodying the spirit of a true Savage.
