The lasting impact of Evan Battey

Senior forward Evan Battey may have played his final game in Boulder, but the effect he left on this town and its people will last a lifetime.

Battey began his career in Boulder as a member of the 2017 recruiting class, which included multiple Buffs stars, including McKinley Wright IV and Tyler Bey. He is the 38th all time Buffalo to score at least 1,000 points in his career.

Battey’s passion and love for the school have earned him the title of “The Mayor”. Battey is not just a fan favorite for his play, but team manager CJ Armitage argues that his personality and kind heart is what made him such a beloved player.
