QUOTABLE | Head Coach Jason Hooten

"We are so excited to announce the signing of Jae'Coby. I had the privilege of getting to know Coby while coaching in Texas, and his mother was a tremendous player in high school for one of my closest friends. Jae'Coby has the genes of a great player and winner!

"As we move forward in building this program brick by brick, Coby was a young man that fit the mold of someone who is hard working with a high basketball IQ and is an everyday guy. His ability to guard multiple positions and make plays on both ends of the floor was what made this an important signing for our program. Jae'Coby will have a tremendous senior year at Bella Vista Prep, being coached and playing versus top notch competition. I can't wait to see Coby in the Crimson and White! Aggie Up!"
