Personal Statement
I played on my first basketball team in 5th grade and fell in love with the sport! I began playing AAU in 6th grade and have played year round on an AAU team as well as back to school Fall leagues gearing up for my school season. My Freshman year of high school I was a starter on our JV team and the following year as a sophomore I was a starter on our School Varsity team. I broke our school 3 point record my sophomore year with seven 3 pointers in a game with 31 points. I also received the Best Male Athlete Award from our school and named Honorable Mention for the All-Conference Team. My Junior year I was named captain and named to the 1st Team Sugar Creek Classic and was selected 2nd Team All-Conference Team. My senior year I was also selected Captain for my Varsity team and selected 1st Team All Conference. When I'm not in the school gym, I am playing pick-up games and training before and after school. I have a high understanding of the game with strong fundamentals. Being a part of a team and having a passion has shaped me into the man I am. I have an impressive vertical and have surprised many with being able to dunk at 5'10". I work on getting better everyday.
My goal is to play basketball at the college level while studying secondary education. School has been a little harder for me and I've earned every grade I have and have strong study habits. I presently have a 3.25 GPA and plan to graduate with Honors. Basketball and my strong work ethic has kept me grounded in my life and I hope to continue my education while playing the sport I am passionate about.
