Jaggar Wyatt, a junior at Cache High School, is a gifted point guard who lives on the energy and speed for the game. For Wyatt, basketball is more than just a game, it’s building connections, growing as a team, and pumping up his teammates who matter the most to him.
Wyatt loves how basketball has an intensity that you don’t get in every sport
“I love the fast pace of the game, the competitiveness, and the camaraderie of playing with your friends and having fun making each other better,” Wyatt says.
His team’s camaraderie is something he believes truly makes them special. Several of his teammates have been playing basketball together ever since they were in fifth grade – creating a bond with his teammates that extends beyond the court.
Wyatt is thankful for the impact Jesus and his dad have brought into his life. His dad introduced basketball and God to him at an early age. Throughout his life, Wyatt’s passion for both have grown, basically as soon as he could walk and read. You’ll always find a ball or a bible near his side.
His effort and extra work beyond practice have paid off in many memorable ways. One unforgettable day was a game where he knocked down seven three-pointers! Wyatt also once scored 30 points with his travel ball basketball team. Even with his confidence, Wyatt still treats every rivalry the same when he sees a matchup coming up. He simply just wants to win every game no matter what team it is.
When it comes to being successful at what you do, Wyatt believes talent alone isn’t enough.
“Hard work beats talent and never stop trying to perfect your fundamentals. It takes countless hours in the gym,” he says.
For him, you have to be committed. That’s when you’ll see growth from within.
As a member of FCA, Wyatt takes pride in representing Cache High School through his faith. He wants his fans to see him as a standup example of the community. Keeping up with schoolwork, practice, and home life isn’t always easy for Wyatt, but he accepts the work it takes to succeed.
Ultimately, Wyatt’s goal is to continue playing college basketball while pursuing a degree once he finds out where life takes him. With his hard work, leadership, and enthusiasm for the grind, he’s heading towards a path to excellence.
