Nathan Robert Young is a junior at OHHS, playing the wing position on the OHHS JV basketball team wearing #21. The 6’1” straight-A student was born in Coupeville on July 24th, and has lived in Oak Harbor his entire life. He is the son of Robert, an insurance agent, and Patty, a manager at Summer Hill. Nate has one sister, Morgan, who plays basketball and softball.
Nate is a strong student, and his favorite classes are those involving history, as he finds it interesting to learn how events in the past shape our lives today. Although he’s a history buff, his favorite teacher is Mr. Farmer, who makes class fun.
In addition to basketball, Nate will also be playing baseball this spring. When asked why he plays basketball, Nate came up with the definitive answer: “its fun”. He feels the best part of his game is his mid-range jumper, but also knows he needs to build his strength. His basketball goal this year is to work his was into a starting position on JV, and then to be a ‘floater’, which is a player that plays mostly JV, but suits up for varsity as well.
His most memorable sports moment to date happened several years ago. He was a member of a Babe Ruth baseball team that places 2nd in the state. Outside of sports, he says his most memorable moment was a trip he made with his family to the Bahamas.
When he’s not on the court, Nate is a typical teenager. He listens to music (no real preference, he’ll listen to anything), watches movies (Remember the Titans is one of his favorites), and sitting in front of the TV. According to dad, if Nate’s in front of the TV, the TV will be on ESPN for ‘Sportscenter’.
After high school, Nate plans to go to college and work for degree that can get him involved in sports marketing or perhaps be a sports agent. If he did land that dream job, his dream place to do it would be Hawaii.
Something you probably didn’t know about Nate: He is an accomplished hand percussionist – playing bongos and other similar instruments.
