MILLION DOLLAR MAN

COLUMBIANA, OH – The Columbiana Clippers boys basketball program is one of those programs that you can always expect tough, physical, and gritty basketball players to show up, do their job, and leave the gym knowing that they were there. This mindset of get the job done and win at all cost is something that junior guard Nick Million has. embodied throughout his career.

Nick is currently in the middle of his junior season and he is looking to continue to build his talents and become a force for Coach Johnson and the Columbiana Clippers as the season goes on and before the playoffs begin. On the season, Million is averaging 13.5 points per game, 6.1 rebounds per game, and 2.3 steals per game! Not only is he having a great statistical season, he also tied the Columbiana boys basketball all-time record for threes in a game with 7 made earlier this year against Wellsville!

Million’s success can be directly tied to his work ethic. Although no one on the outside sees it, Nick is always the first on in the gym and the last to leave, this “gym rat” mentality has also allowed him to play basketball year-round as he plays AAU for the Ohio Lakers as soon as the high school season ends! Not only does Nick basically live in the gym, when he is there, it’s all business, and that work ethic has caught the eye of Coach Johnson as he is able to lean on Nick to be a leader and be able to get his teammates involved in that mindset also!

YSN’s own, DJ Yokley, was able to catch up with Nick via video chat this week to talk about the current season, how COVID has effected him and his junior season, what his expectations are for this season as the OHSAA tournament is inching closer, what it means to him to be a Clipper, and so much more!
