Max Potas of Meeteetse Passes 1,000 Points in Basketball
Meeteetse’s Max Potas is the latest prep basketball player who has joined the 1,000-point club in a high school basketball career. The junior reached the plateau last weekend in a road win at Ten Sleep. After he scored 33 points in a win over Riverside, Potas scored 13 points against the Pioneers and got to 1,000 despite an injury. Potas was an all-state selection by the coaches last year. He is a two-time all-conference pick and a three-year starter for the Longhorns.
This season, the junior is averaging 24.1 points per game, which is second-best in Class 1A. He adds 8.4 rebounds per game while shooting 38 percent from the field and 73 percent at the free-throw line.
As a sophomore last year, Potas helped Meeteetse to the 1A basketball state tournament. The Longhorns finished 15-11 and won the 1A Northwest Conference at 8-0. Potas averaged 18.6 points per game and shot 42 percent from the field. He added 7.4 rebounds per game.
Potas also plays football and runs track at MHS. He is an all-state and three-time all-conference selection on the gridiron. In 2024, Max threw for 726 yards with 10 TDs and four interceptions. He added 384 yards rushing and six TDs. On defense, Potas made 66 total tackles and finished with 157 defensive points. He had eight tackles for loss and one sack. Max recovered three fumbles, had three interceptions, and scored three touchdowns on defense for the Longhorns.
In track, Potas ran on Meeteetse’s 4x100 meter relay team that finished four at last year’s 1A state track meet.

Congratulations to Max on 1,000 points! Here’s to a quick and complete recovery.
