My name is Taylor Reese. I am a senior at Stratford Academy. I currently compete in basketball and track and field. I have been a starting player in varsity basketball since my freshman year. I started as a 5 player in middle school and on my AAU team, but I have become very versatile playing the 3 and 4 positions.
My AAU coach and teammates are amazing and very supportive. My coach has inspired me over the years. We have won several tournament championships, and I have earned tournament MVP on several occasions. I am a great defensive player. I use my 6’1 frame, speed and anticipation of ball movement to my advantage. Some coaches say I play “above the rim”. I am versatile in the post and on the wing. I am naturally a lefty but was trained to play right handed. I average 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals per game. We had a successful high school season this year, and I am blessed to have an awesome high school team of coaches as well! I led my high school team to win the GISA AAA region championship! We fell short, however in the GISA state championship game, but I plan to change that outcome my senior year. I earned several athletic honors this year -- the Macon Telegraph All Middle Georgia First Team, All Bibb County Second Team, GISA All State and GISA All Region. During my sophomore year, I was voted Player of the Year and Scholar Athlete by my high school coaches.
I also high jump and triple jump. I am the GISA AAA state high jump champion, and I finished as runner up in the 2 AAA region high jump competition!
I plan to obtain a full academic or athletic scholarship and earn a college degree in History or Journalism. My GPA is a 3.75, and I scored very well on the SAT. I am a leader and a hard worker. I am dedicated to basketball and my studies, and I plan to make a difference in the world someday. Although I am undecided at this point, I have strong interest in becoming an attorney, professional basketball player or broadcast journalist.
