Personal Statement
Hi my name is Torri Van Beek. I'm a junior at West Lyon High School. I started playing basketball at a young age and I always had the hard work and determination to succeed. My freshman and sophomore year I started varsity as the point guard. It was a little intimidating going into a varsity team being 1 of the 2 freshman that suited, but I think I took on the leadership role very well and I earned the trust of my teammates . My sophomore year I became more of a threat ending the season leading the conference in assists with 129 and my assist-to-turnover ratio being 2.48. I also was awarded Siouxland Conference Honorable Mention. Off the court my academics are very important to me. I study hard and try to maintain a high GPA. Overall I'm a very dedicated student-athlete. In the offseason you can find me either in the gym or in the weight room. I always give 110% and I believe I'm a very mentally tough player. I have a great work ethic, I'm very coachable, and I love the game of basketball.
