Bartlesville Radio: The area’s best source for news, weather and sports!

It is another Monday, which means we have another Patriot Auto Group Area Athlete of the Week. This week we will wrap up our basketball season with the only senior on this year’s Bartlesville High Bruin roster, Nash Zervas.

Zervas ended up being a two-year starter for BHS. He came on strong midway through the 2023-24 season, then held onto that role during this past year. Zervas was the Bruin’s leading scorer this past season. He ended his Bartlesville career with better than 30-percent three-point shooting.

Zervas did not play any varsity basketball until his junior season. He talks about his journey through varsity basketball.

As far as his progression, any Bruin fan who watched BHS the last two years saw the steps forward that Zervas made all-around. He became one of Bartlesville’s primary ball handlers, eventually using drives and ball fakes that allowed him to score around the rim.

Zervas talks about how he improved under head coach Tommy DeSalme over the past year.

Nash says he wants to become a dentist when he is done with college and is still deciding on where he would like to go for his undergraduate degree. Zervas said there is a long line of history in dentistry in his family.

Nash gave credit to his parents, Chris and Jenna, for their support in aiding in his basketball career.

Congrats again to Nash Zervas, this week’s Patriot Auto Group Area Athlete of the Week, powered by Tri County Tech.
