El Dorado’s Peyton Wight averaged 10 points and three rebounds per game last season on his way to an honorable mention all-league selection.
But the Wildcats were unable to achieve anything as a team and that’s what Wight is focused on for the 2025-2026 season.
“Some goals I have is to really push the team this year because the last few seasons have been rough and I think we have the potential this year to do a lot better,” Wight said. “So I want to be a good teammate and do everything in my power to make our team successful.”
Wight thinks the struggles he and his teammates have experienced will be beneficial in the long run.
“I think I’m most excited for having more experience going into the season,” Wight said. “I think that me and my class have all gotten stronger and better over the summer and I’m excited to see what we can put together this season.”
Being a better three-point shooter is the one area that Wight is wanting to improve.
“One area I am wanting to improve on this year is my shooting over,” Wight said. “I played a lot of tournament ball and I think it’s really going to pay off when it comes to the three-point line this year. I played a lot of basketball and training just to become an all-around better player.”
