Ethaniel Rizan Seems Headed to 7’0”

Central High’s 6-10 basketball player Ethaniel Rizan, or E, loves basketball but that’s just one of his many interests. He played basketball and football in Biddy League, flag football, and now basketball at Central High.
He has also enjoyed playing the drums in the Central High Band. His mom, Sarah Martin, who works for the state, says Ethan is “a great kid, a good student who has no discipline issues. He wants to be an aeronautical engineer.”
Central head coach Brian Hargroder describes Ethan as “a gentle giant.” The coach says, “Ethan is unique. Such a fine young man and good student. He tries to do everything Coach Mark Jeanmard says to do. We’re watching him. He has a lot of potential.”
Ethan is 6-10 and just seems to keep growing. His mom thinks he’ll top 7 feet.
Ironically, Coach Hargroder raises Great Danes, one of largest of dogs. He said, “When they are puppies, they are very awkward. They are all feet and legs. Then one day before you know it, everything works perfectly!”
The freshmen play in a tournament at Woodlawn Saturday.
