How good was Carson Swanson’s sophomore season on the hardwood?

Well, the statistics tell the story.

The Westfield sophomore averaged 27.7 points — second in Section VI (by a 10th of a point) — 6.1 rebounds, 5.1 steals and 4.1 assists per game. Tack on 63 3-pointers and surpassing the 1,000-point career mark, it was quite the basketball winter for the talented guard.

Not surprisingly, Swanson was named the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association Division 2 West Player of the Year.

Joining Swanson on the First Team were seniors Austin White and Blake Kopta of Clymer; senior Lawson Ormsby of Chautauqua Lake; senior Brayden Hayes of Sherman; and sophomore Carter Brink of Panama.

Second-team selections were sophomore Bryce Hinsdale and senior Gabe Roth of Panama; junior Jonathan Massing of Clymer; senior Kegan Ayers of Sherman; senior Colin McPherson of Maple Grove; and senior Chris Rotunda of Westfield.

Honorable-mention choices were sophomores Alex Barmore and Tate Catanese of Panama; senior Jacob Swabik of Sherman; senior Dylan Michael of Clymer; sophomores Michael Garcia and Jeremy Weisner of Brocton; senior Logan Tarr and freshman Nick Jacobson of Chautauqua Lake; junior Logan Tuah of Westfield; and seniors Cam Bower and Brendan Weatherup and junior Marcus Laney of Maple Grove.
