Joshua Wood '24 Recruiting Profile

One day when I was in kindergarten during recess, my Teacher Ms. Keir suggested that me and a couple of my friends go play some basketball.  I had never heard of "basketball," but as soon as I  picked up the ball, I was hooked for life.   I was very excited to tell my parents about this new game I had discovered.  I also learned that day that my Father played basketball while growing up and he was very good.  For the next 8 years, my Father taught me how to play.  He coached me through all the Rec Leagues, Suburban Leagues, Summer Leagues, and Fall Leagues before handing me off to High School and AAU.  I always played up a level because my Dad consistently said it would better prepare me for High School and College.  He was right !!!

As I approach my Senior year in High School and 4th year on Varsity, I look to my future.  After I graduate, I want to attend a college that offers me a good education in business and provides me the opportunity to play basketball competitively for another 4 years.  My dream is to one day own and operate a world class Fitness Center.

I am a dedicated, hard working, intelligent, highly skilled and competitive student athlete.  I am always striving to become a better person in and out of the classroom as well as on and off the court.
