Personal Statement
My name is Blake Appel and I am a senior at Gulfport High School. GHS is a 6-A high school located in Gulfport, MS. This season I will be starting at first base and pitching as part of the starting rotation for the varsity team. In addition to my school team, I have played competitive travel ball with the Louisiana Stix which is based in Slidell,LA and NOLA Baseball from New Orleans, LA. While I work extremely hard on the field, I also excel off the field with my school work. I have a 3.5 GPA, take all honors classes, and have scored a 25 on my ACT. I am determined to play baseball at the collegiate level and to use the opportunity to pursue a college degree.
