When Levi Hollinger moved to North Dakota in the fifth grade, he said he didn’t even like basketball. It took his new classmates in New England to convince him he should try playing.
“Everybody wanted me to go out, so I tried it and it worked out good and I loved it ever since,” Hollinger said.
Today, who knows where the Tigers would be without him?
Described by teammates as a dedicated and relentless player, Hollinger has been the engine driving the New England boys basketball team this season.
For two seasons, he was a role player behind the trio of Kaine Hanson, Clarence Binstock and Nick Wolf and, while on teams that were momentarily ranked in the Class B poll and won the District 13 championship in 2011, was never regarded by opponents as the player they had to stop.
