(Cadet) An historic season for the Kingston boys basketball team ended up with one of its stars on the Winter Dream Team. Senior Matthew Nelson averaged 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and over 4 blocks per game for the Cougars in a season that saw them win their first ever district title.
The six-foot-six Nelson eneded his career as the school’s all-time leader in blocks and rebounds but he was proud of the way his jump shot developed.
Nelson totaled 1,482 points for Kingston, the most ever for a boys basketball player, but the all-time scoring record belongs to his sister and fellow Dream-Teamer, Madison. Though Matthew says he gets the last laugh in one-on-one.
Nelson was happy to announce that he and his sister will bring their competitive relationship to Fontbonne University in St. Louis where they’ll both play basketball.
Nelson is a two-time district player of the year. Kingston finished the season with a record of 19-8.
