“He really proved himself,” said North Collins coach Jan Warren. “Every big game we played, he played his best, and it showed in that Panama game. He knew he had a big challenge in front of him, and he stepped up. He came into the year on a mission and he wanted us to do well. He’s a great leader and works harder than anybody.”

In 23 games this season, Robinson led the CCAA East 2 Division with 400 total points and 273 total rebounds. His 17.4 points per game average were second in the league, while his 11.8 rebounds per game were the most in the league.
