Personal Statement
My name is Katie Johns, I play basketball and have been playing since I was 10. I joined a travel basketball team (Naylor Basketball) freshmen year. During my freshman year I played both JV and Varsity basketball for Fannett Metal. Then in the spring I played AAU basketball and went to many tournaments. When AAU was over my coach Rex Naylor and Mark Shilling individually trained me until October. In the summer I also went to many basketball camps. During my sophmore year, I mostly played Varsity basketball and our high school team made it to the first round of playoffs since 2011. After High School ball was over I started playing AAU again with Naylor Basketball. Last season during AAU I only averaged about 4 points a game. During our tournaments this year I'm our leading scorer (avg 14), and grab rebounds (avg 9) and also became one of the team leaders. Now that our tournaments are over we have been playing in a summer league. I am about to start individual training and am going to attend a PGC basketball camp. Everyday I find ways to improve my game somehow. I work on my strength and conditioning and everyday I work on my shooting or ball handling. I also enjoy watching film or other basketball games to improve my basketball IQ. Academically, I'm a straight A student and am a member of National Honor Society. Im also involved in other clubs and am ranked 6th in my class. My goal is to play college basketball and keep working hard on my game, and get a good college degree.
