Aviyana Smallwood '14 Recruiting Profile

As a student-athelete, balancing academics and athletics can be a challenge at times, but I have managed to do both while maintaining an A average. I have been involved in sports at a very young age. I love to play basketball. I started playing basketball at the age of five. As a current high school student, my collegiate aspirations are to play basketball for a Division I or Division II school. Also, to receive an athletic scholarships. If I don't receive an athletic scholarships, I still plan to make my aspirations a success and try-out for the team. What makes me a good candidate for their team is that I can be an offensive threat with my ability to score, assist and find the open teammate as well as a defensive threat with blocking, stealing, and rebounding. What makes me different from other recruit in character because I am very humble and respectful to all. I love to help in my community and school. Giving a helping hand is when I love to do because I know I have been helped through life. I feel it is better to give than to receive.
