Junior Charlie Hoel has been putting on a show all season for the Stanley-Boyd boys basketball team.
The versatile and athletic 6-foot-8 forward has been dynamite for an Orioles team that has been ranked in the state’s top 10 this season.
Hoel is averaging 20.7 points and 11.3 rebounds per game for a team that is 19-4 overall and 11-3 in Cloverbelt West play.
He is shooting over 60 percent from the field this season.
The Leader-Telegram recently caught up with Hoel, the High School Athlete of the Week, to learn a little more about him.
