This season, he had his first career triple double against Victory Baptist Academy where he had 17 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists. “Richard has been an important part of the success of TVCS varsity Men’s Basketball this season. He is a strong leader on and off the court and is being recruited to play college basketball at the next level,” said head coach James Christian.
Fu is from Taiwan and started playing basketball in Middle School. The aspect he likes most about basketball is the relationships and comrade built during the season with his teammates. He attributes a lot of his success this season to hard work and his coaches.
