- 2017 Highlights #2
Personal Statement
Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
For as long as I can remember I have had a love of basketball and wanted to play in college. While my classmates often played 2 or 3 different sports I was committed to just one. I played fall AAU, Travel, school and Spring AAU each year. In addition during the summer I played summer basketball in Portland Or and spent several weeks attending camps - sometimes playing for 10 hours a day.
As a player I bring a lot of flexibility to my coach. I have the unique ability to play all 5 positions, and will willingly do so to help my team. Although I favor the 1 and 3 spots, I have often been utilized in the 2 and 4 and even on occasion the 5. I am comfortable handling the ball and shooting from the perimeter, but my strength is driving the lane and creating openings to pass to my teammates or finish strong to the hoop.
My high school team is the Williamstown Blue Devils out of central Vermont. This year we fell just short of a "five peat" winning the state championship for five consecutive years. however we did manage to finish second in the state with a 21-3 record loosing in the championship game. In January of this year I was nominated for student of the month at my school. I believe this is a tribute to my willingness to help others and set a good example on and off the court.
