Former Kickapoo basketball player turns viral videographer for local high schools

Vincent Mhire, who graduated from Kickapoo High School in Springfield, Missouri, was known locally for his basketball abilities before gaining attention as a sports videographer. A mallet-finger injury kept him off the court, prompting him to record AIU summer tournaments on his phone. The experience revealed a knack for creating hype videos, and he expanded his brand while keeping up his grades and playing the sport.

Facing multiple college offers, Mhire committed to Mission College but later decided his future lay in videography, citing weekly shoots for golf events and a personal sense of calling. He now produces videos for nearly every high school in the Springfield area and aspires to work for an NBA team or player. His growing social-media following reflects his dual insight as both player and filmmaker.
