Whether it’s a scrimmage in practice at the Schottenstein Center or a contest at the Kingdom League, not every game is going to go your way.
Kalen Etzler had one such off day at Ohio Dominican on July 17, suffering his first defeat in the Kingdom League and putting forth perhaps his most disappointing effort of the past month individually. But even a frustrating game has silver linings for the Ohio State redshirt freshman.
Any shortcomings only point out what Etzler must work to improve over the remaining offseason months, and after a year spent on the Buckeye bench in 2021-22, the Ohio native sounded even hungrier to fill any holes in his skill set after the game.
