"We are very excited about the Shad's future," Coach Bill Dreikosen said. "He has great size and athleticism, along with good skills. He is going to be an exciting player to watch grow in our program."

"I chose Rocky Mountain College because I liked the people and the atmosphere." Boyce said. "I am very grateful for the opportunity to keep playing basketball."

Boyce was coached by Dillon Udelhoven & Brian Foran at Winifred High School and plans to study Business Management.

We have been impressed with his driven mindset, he has a high basketball IQ along with great size and athleticism and he's a strong student. Those traits are going to be great assets to our program. He will be one to watch in the future as a Battlin' Bear!"

"My family and I believed that Rocky is the best fit for me," Erickson added. "It is close to home, they will give me a great education and program to be a part of, and it will add a little rivalry to the family with my sister being at Carroll."
