“Cason had a good season; he had some big games and had to fight through the adversity of other teams guarding him so tightly. I think it made him a better player and us a better team,” Darr said.

Robinson, a junior, had one of his biggest performances Feb. 20, 2026, against North Mac, scoring 19 points while shooting 58 percent from the field.
