After four years in their program, the Ironmen’s rising senior had a nice build to him. Tall, big, sturdy, and burly are requisites to play in the conference that Don Bosco does – and Horodnik checks all those boxes. However, what happened to catch my eye about Horodnik was the use of his hands. His hands were very active in a variety of ways – hand fighting, push-pull, swipes, and clubs. The move that was perhaps the most effective and refined was his rip. When Horodnik ripped, it was fast, sudden, explosive, followed through, and was – most importantly – effective to shed his block.
