Kolek had a decorated career at Cumerland, finishing as the school's all-time leading scorer and earning first-team all-state honors in the RIIL. He got off to a relatively slow start this fall at St. Andrew's, but took his game to new levels with each passing month during the course of the season, and ended up playing a key role for the Saints as they advanced all the way to the NEPSAC Class A Finals.
A high level shot-maker from behind the three-point arc with good positional size, Kolek became a much more versatile and balanced player over the course of the last year.
Below are some of his highlights from this past summer with the Middlesex Magic.
