This website is to highlight my love for baseball and a little bit about me. I’m currently a 17 year old starting my junior year at Lincoln College Prep High School, a public high school with a strong academic history in Kansas City, MO. I'm a 3.5 honor roll student-athlete. In November, I received my first scholarship from a written essay, and will apply that to my college pursuits. I'm an honor roll student-athlete who finished the first semester with a 4.0. I speak basic French as a second language. I have a full IB class schedule. My family is small but very close, which includes my only sibling, my 8 year old sister. One of our favorite things is playing different sports together.
For my high school seasons, I started varsity as both freshmen and sophomore, more playing time than any other underclassmen. I played multiple positions, but mostly SS and 3B. We finished 16-9-1 as a Class 5 (of 6) school with a district win in one of the toughest districts. I bat and throw right.
For my club team, I play mostly SS and 3B. The club team is a very talented Cavaliers baseball program, that is in association with Johnson County Community College baseball covering the Kansas City metro. We play in top level tournaments summer and fall.
Thanks for taking the time to browse through my site. I’m happy to connect and answer any questions.

Combined there is over 40 years of college coaching and playing experience running all the practices! College coaches handle all of the winter and summer training, and are assisted by some of the best coaches in the area. All Cavalier coaches have played or coached baseball at the collegiate level. Also, no coach on staff is related to anyone on their team. Since they have expanded into the higher levels of baseball, 100% of our players have had the opportunity to play college baseball.
