Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Cooper Deck. I am heading into my Senior Year (Class of 2016) at New Hartford High in central New York. NH ranks nationally as a "TOP 200" high school. I take pride in my school work & sports. For the past five years, I have been an honor roll student with a 94.0 overall GPA, all while taking AP & honors courses. I played Varsity basketball as a freshman & that team advanced to the NYS Class A, Section III Championship game at the Carrier Dome. As a Sophomore, I started at point guard & lead the team in assists. As a Junior, I played point & swing guard , leading the team in minutes played & assists. I was second in scoring and rebounds per game. I always put my team & teammates first, I love playing basketball.
I feel that I offer leadership & have been Captain on most of my teams (in both sports). I listen to my coaches & try to motivate the people around me to be the best they can be because I know it will pay off in the end. I try my hardest in everything I do; on and off the court.
I am open to many different kinds of college's too! I am interested in communications, but I am not 100% decided on a college major at this time. I am going to wait and explore options so I can pick a major that fits me best. My goals are 1.) Work hard in school & sports. Graduate with high honors. 2.) Win the Tri Valley League & NYS Section III title in 2015/2016. 3.) Play four years college basketball & graduate in the major that I chose. I would like to thank each and every one of you for taking your time out to read this. It really means a lot to me. Again, thank you and have a great day.
