Personal Statement
I would like to attend a top academic University. I have decided to pursue engineering and business. I have a 3.8 at Troy High school, always a top ten high school in the state of Michigan. I am a TEAM player. I work very hard. I am very lengthy and force opponents to take bad shots. I play great defense, lead in blocked shots, adding more assists to my game, have a good shot (over 50% FG last 3 seasons) and I am a dominant rebounder.
As a Varsity starter as a sophomore, best shooting % and led the team in rebounds. As a Varsity starter, as a Junior, best shooting percentage at 55%, averaged 11 points per game and led the team with 11 rebounds per game. Also had 12 double-doubles during the season. I was named All Conference Team. We won our OAA League, District, and Region, made it to the Elite 8 in the state of Michigan. Our 21-5 was the best ever overall record for Troy High. As a Varsity starter as a Senior our team has moved up into the highest Division and in the toughest league in the State of Michigan. Current avg. 13 PPG and lead with 10 rebounds a game and playing much more outside the paint.
I am very passionate about grades and sports. I am very athletic being 6' 7" with a 7' 1" wingspan and very large hands and working hard to be stronger (now 215 lbs), faster and quicker. I also played on TEAM Basketball AAU team and we had another very good season last year with a 36-9 record, winning 5 major tournaments, playing in very competitive tournaments throughout the Midwest, led the team in rebounds. I have always played multiple sports until my senior year where I have focused on improving my basketball skills.
