08 Feb 2023 Brandon Bennett – Cabot (501 Basketball Team 2023)

When it comes to perimeter shooters in the 501, few are as talented beyond the arc as Cabot senior guard Brandon Bennett.

With his high basketball IQ and his ability to space the floor, Bennett has grown rather adept at punishing defenders with precision.

“Brandon is an excellent shooter and a reliable defender,” Cabot head coach Logan Bailey said. “He takes charges and rebounds and makes the game easier for his teammates. Last season, Brandon opened up driving lanes for his teammates with his shooting ability while also guarding one of the other teams’ best players. This season, we expect Brandon to continue spacing the floor with his perimeter shooting, to be more of a threat attacking the paint and to defend against many of the other teams’ best players.”

Among elite competition in the Class 6A Central conference, Bennett believes that strong defense and unselfish play will pave the way to victory for the Panthers.

“Our goal this season is to finish as one of the top teams in the conference and make a run at state,” Bennett said. “We’ll accomplish this by playing great team defense and sharing the ball.”

“Brandon is one of the most selfless players that I’ve had the honor of coaching,” Bailey said. “He puts his teammates’ needs above his own. He holds himself and those around him to a high standard. He’s reliable and enjoyable to work with. He is an outstanding student, a great friend to his peers and very involved in his community.”
