Head Coach Paul Mills on Fuqua
“R.J. is a sponge and wants to improve each time he is on the court.  He is developing as a leader but what sets him apart from other players is his grit and determination.  He wants to make the team better at the point guard position, and has done a good job as a communicator to assist the team.”
