But as Sherman Central School senior Chris Robson entered the gymnasium to officially become a Jayhawk, the table and three chairs arranged near the top of the key just beyond the 3-point arc at one end of the court should have made him feel right at home.

“That’s his calling card,” said Sisson, the men’s basketball coach at the college. “His telephone number (should) start at 3.”

Robson, the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association Division 2 West Player of the Year and a first-team Post-Journal all-star, made 89 3-pointers for the Wildcats last season on his way to leading them to the Section VI Class D championship game.

He’ll be able to launch from deep as a Jayhawk, too.

Said Sisson: “I just became a lot better coach, because of the skill sets he brings — shooting, competitiveness and personal drive.”

A three-year letter winner for the Wildcats, the 6-foot guard capped his career with eye-popping numbers. In addition to shooting 41 percent from the arc (89 of 219), Robson connected on 84 percent of his free throw attempts (94 of 112) on his way to averaging 24 points per game. He also grabbed 6.6 rebounds, dished out 3.7 assists and had 3.2 steals per contest.

“I like the fact we’re keeping one of the top players in the county at home,” Sisson said.

Robson will be put to good use, particularly from the perimeter where the Jayhawks shot just under 35 percent last season when they finished 18-13.

“It will be fun to watch him grow and mature, not only on the court, but in the classroom and in the community,” Sisson said.

Robson finished his Wildcats career as the school’s No. 3 all-time scorer with more than 1,000 points.

“The last Sherman player (Elle Reed) scored 1,200 points for me,” said Sisson, who was JCC’s women’s coach before taking over the men’s program prior to the 2015-16 season. “Whoever is teaching shooting at Sherman knows what they’re doing.”

Robson is anxious to get to work at a gym in which he is quite comfortable.

“The program is really, really good,” he said. “I wanted to go to a good program and have success. When we play at Sherman, we play fast. I’ll fit in (here).”

Sisson agrees.

“I think he is going to have a terrific two years here,” he said.
