Lincoln senior guard Toriano Munford
After a brilliant junior season, averaging 15.5 points and five rebounds per game and earning All-Hudson County Third Team honors,
Toriano Munford knew he had to try to improve his game this year.
The 6-foot-3 Lincoln High School do-everything senior was prepared to be more of a factor.
“I felt like I had to step up and play a bigger role this year,” Munford said. “I had to help the team more.”
But with a worldwide pandemic ongoing, it was going to be tough to improve, especially with his Lincoln teammates.
“It was very difficult,” Munford said. “I couldn’t do anything. I had to stay in the house. I watched a lot of basketball, but it wasn’t like playing.”
