01 Feb 2025 Daniel Trusty – St. Joseph (501 Basketball Team 2025)
For St. Joseph High School, senior forward Daniel Trusty is more than just a basketball player. He’s a leader, role model and community servant. Known for his relentless rebounding and sharp shooting, Trusty is set to have a standout final season.

“Daniel has been a great player for us,” St. Joseph Coach Andrew Beck said. “He’s worked tirelessly on his shot, and his ability to rebound and score is impressive. I’m excited to see him take another step forward as a senior.”
Trusty’s contributions go beyond stats. He’s a vocal leader and one of the hardest workers in practice. “Daniel leads by example,” Beck said. “He’s a returning starter who impacts the game on both ends of the floor.”
For Trusty, basketball has always been a passion. “I’ve loved the game since I was young, playing pickup with kids in the neighborhood,” he said. “One of my favorite memories is winning the Peewee Championship in sixth grade. It gave me confidence and solidified my love for the sport.”
Off the court, Trusty is equally impactful. As senior class vice president, he helped organize a charity volleyball game benefiting Bethlehem House in Conway. He’s also involved in Interact Club and Young Male Leaders of America and volunteers for local organizations like Project Homeless and COHO.
Trusty plans to attend the University of Central Arkansas to study business and serve in the U.S. Army. “I want to be remembered as someone who always hustled and was a leader on and off the court,” he said.
