Wheatland head coach Brian Pearson described Sawyer as “high level character, hard worker, willing to put extra time in to help his team be successful”.
Fellow senior Owen Kenig and junior Dan Murphy will also be leaders for Wheatland. Kenig saw action in 17 games last season. Murphy scored 4.5 points per game with 5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals.
