Daily News | Junior guard Ryan Williams is Malvern Prep’s self-made rising star
If a tree fell in the forest and nobody was around to hear it, perhaps it was because Ryan Williams and his father cut it down to build a basketball court.Last season, Williams, now a 6-foot-3 junior guard at Malvern Prep, led the Friars to a share of the Inter-Ac championship while also leading the league in scoring.
Most of the outdoor parks near their home didn’t have rims, so sometimes they drove around, searching, plotting. It could take 20 to 30 minutes, Williams said, to find a suitable court even if the weather allowed for only 30 minutes of work. Via phone, Harmatuk also explained that quarantine rules meant the JV and varsity teams had separate practices, meaning Williams didn’t even get the benefit of playing against varsity players in practice.“It kind of destroyed his confidence,” James Williams said. “He didn’t want to play basketball.”
“Who does that as a freshman — as a 14-year-old?” Brandon Williams said. “And then who does that after being told you’re not good enough? That’s tremendous maturity and tremendous focus on what you want to accomplish. Some kids would easily get discouraged.”Williams played so well during the AAU season that Temple became the first to offer him a scholarship before he ever played a minute of varsity basketball last season.
