Personal Statement
My name is Sam Scherry, 6'2 165lb senior guard in Southern Indiana. I play point guard at Heritage Hills High School in Lincoln City, IN. The 2013-14 season will be my second year on varsity. I was 5'4 my sophomore year and that really restricted my varsity minutes. Following a summer mental and physical growth spurt, I was named team co-captain and helped lead my team to our first winning season in six years. I averaged 7.5 points, 4.5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals. At the year end banquet I was honored with the Team Assist and Defensive Awards. My goal is to go to college and play basketball but I know it is unlikely that I play professionally. That being said, I am looking for a great education and college experience. I plan to major in the field of science. I am 18th of 150 in my class and have a 3.75 GPA on a 4.0 scale and Chairperson of our National Honor Society Fundraiser Committee. I am a faithful Christian, attend a methodist church, and am an active member in my church youth group. I see myself as a vocal and physical leader that can be nothing but a benefit to any basketball program.
