""That's just how I was raised. I feel like Northwood, the basketball gym felt like my home since I'm there so much, before, during and after school... I just wanted to help out. That was really it.""
""The Nut House had done what the best student sections do, turning the place into a homecourt advantage long before tipoff.""
Drake Powell, a five-star junior, demonstrated humility and responsibility by cleaning up trash after home playoff games at Northwood. His actions were not performative; he felt it was unfair to leave the mess for others. Coach Matt Brown noted that Powell consistently took this initiative throughout his high school career. Powell expressed that the gym felt like his home, and he wanted to contribute positively. This behavior reflects his character and has followed him to his professional career with the Brooklyn Nets, who selected him with the No. 22 pick.
