Q&A With Matt Fegan, Wooster Fighting Scots Guard & Strongsville Native

Matt Fegan is a junior who starts for the Wooster men’s basketball team. The Strongsville native and 6-foot-1 inch guard talked about the Fighting Scots season and his future plans.

 Strongsville Patch: What does it mean for the team to make the Final Four?

 Matt Fegan: It’s a great honor; we are all ready to go. This has been our goal all season long, were here to achieve it.

 Patch: What are the team’s expectations heading into Friday night’s game?

 Fegan: We think we can win it all, we are focused. All year long, we knew we could win this whole thing.

 Patch: Where did the team’s success come from?

 Fegan: Our team is talented this year; the intensity is high on the defensive end. We also rebound the ball well and are working well together offensively.

 Patch: Is there talk with the natives when you return home to Strongsville?

 Fegan: I go back now and then; there isn’t too much talk about the team. It’s more humbling then anything.

 Patch: What is your major and your plans after you graduate?

 Fegan: I am a history major with a minor in education. I would like to teach and coach basketball after college, not really sure where yet.

 Patch: How long have you been playing basketball?

 Fegan: Wow, as long as I can remember, 7 or 8 years old.

 Patch: What made you choose to go to Wooster?

 Fegan: Well, the academics were appealing, also Wooster is close to home so my parents could come down and watch me play.

 Patch: What did you find different about playing the college game rather than the high school game?

 Fegan: The intensity picks up a great deal. In high school, there are on or two main scorers, in college everyone can score.

 Patch: Did coach offer you any words of wisdom heading into Friday’s game?

 Fegan: He just said continue to play hard, stay motivated and be determined to win.
