Will Cochran, a senior on the Shady Side Academy basketball team, has contributed on a lot of fronts. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Cochran is a versatile player.

“He is our glue guy,” SSA coach David Vadnais said. “He plays four positions and never takes a play off. He is a more than capable scorer when we look to him. He is also an excellent defender who is always on the other team’s best player.”

Cochran has not made a college decision but hopes to major in business. “Unfortunately, my basketball career is not going to continue in college.”
