Killian wore #22 in his career at CA and primarily played forward. “The year has been a team effort from everyone on and off the court. The student sections have been unmatched. #22 out.” He added (in reference to the playoff win versus Lakeland), “I am glad I was able to help get Coach Mauro his first playoff win as our head coach.”
