Dante Mitchell
Dante Mitchell wants to earn your applause.
The Coupeville High School sophomore works hard at fine-tuning his basketball skills with the hope it will pay off on game day. In a big way.
“I love how athletic basketball is, and how intense it is,” Mitchell said. “Just the thought of making a basket and hearing the crowd roar!”
A six-year veteran of the hardwood and the son of a coach (Avis Mitchell), he is joining brother Deandre in their first go-round as a Wolf. Older brother Anthony Bergeron, a senior, played last season for CHS and returns as well.
Able to bounce between positions — he has played forward, post and wing — Mitchell has many talents, but he’d like to add a few more weapons to his arsenal.
“My strengths are hustle, defense, determination to win and rebounding,” he said. “I would like to work on my dribble, free throws, shooting, and getting as much done in the weight room as I can during practice.”
A fan of hip hop and R & B, Mitchell picks “Battle of L.A.” and “Home of the Brave” as his favorite films and enjoys his fitness, biology and world history classes.
He draws inspiration from his family, including his parents and grandparents, and credits past coaches with helping him develop. Now, he wants to keep building on previous hoops success with his new team.
“To go out and have as much fun with the team and coaches I can,” Mitchell said. “And to build a strong chemistry with my teammates.
“Also have more wins than losses,” he added. “Oh, and to get at least 10 points in a game!”
