03 Feb 2024 Cayden Hartman – Greenbrier (501 Basketball Team 2024)

Greenbrier senior guard Cayden Hartman will never forget the moment he first picked up a basketball, igniting a journey full of positive memories and lessons learned.

“I started playing basketball when I was in first grade,” he said. “My mom is a basketball coach and had me in the gym constantly. My favorite memory was getting to compete in state last year. After the game, our team was upset because we lost a close game, but we were all thankful for the time we put in together. This also made me thankful for basketball because of the friendships I formed with a lot of the seniors that I didn’t have prior to basketball season.”

No matter how his senior season plays out, Hartman is excited to experience it beside his basketball brothers one more time.

“I want to be remembered as the player who helped his team win and played for God’s glory,” he said. “This season, I’m pushing myself to help my team however I can. As a team, we want to win conference. By working hard every day, we have come a long way in developing a lot of great shooters, which will help us win.”

Hartman’s impact at Greenbrier is sure to be remembered for years to come.

“Cayden has a great attitude in everything he approaches,” Greenbrier Head Coach Mike Simmons said. “His passion for the game rubs off on his teammates through how hard he plays. He is competitive, a great shooter and cares about helping his team win.”
