King’s Way Boys Basketball: Knights have just one returner, but won’t use inexperience as an excuse

King’s Way Christian has just one returner from last season. The Knights also have just one senior.

But that doesn’t mean coach Daven Harmeling will accept any “rebuilding year” excuses.

“It doesn’t matter how many guys we lost or how young we are,” Harmeling said. “That will never be an OK excuse for anything that happens.”

The standards are high at King’s Way, which has won the Trico League and reached the state tournament three years in a row.

This season, twin juniors Khalfani and Kefentse Cason have stepped into key backcourt roles this season.

Behind the Casons is a group of talented underclassmen. Sophomore guard Brady Metz scored 22 points in the season opener against Washougal. Sophomore forward Justin Frahm added 17.

Nate Snider is the team’s only senior. Gage Koenders is the lone returner from last year.
