Harriman Brings Toughness

From the World Herald on Bluejay forward Casey Harriman:

Harriman is lauded for this toughness and energy that he brings to his team. "Just the way I was brought up," Harriman said. "Work hard, play hard."

That simple philosophy has earned the 6-foot-5 junior his teammates' respect.

“He's one of the tougher guys we have,'' center Kenny Lawson said. “For being only 6-5, he's a guy who's not afraid to go get the ball on the offensive and defensive end. He takes charges. He brings toughness and energy to this team, and you rarely see Casey taking a play off.''

Regardless of where Carter plays, head coach Dana Altman said, Harriman's toughness is going to get him on the court.

Toughness is measured in a lot of different ways. He is our most physical guy right now. He's taken over for Josh Dotzler, who was our most physical player a year ago. He's been doing a good job of putting a body on somebody and being physical.''
