Personal Statement
I am Deontae Ford a 2021 Senior of Coosa Christian High School in Gadsden Al.
As my high school year almost come to a close and I transition into college I have set a few goals. One, being the best I can be through hard work, skills, discipline and most of all hard work. I plan to major in Business Administration while pursuing my college degree. While setting that part of life in motion I also have a love, a desire a passion to play basketball at the college level and beyond.
I will finish my regular season with a 24.1 average holding the top scorer position in my home county of Etowah County and can also play defensively as well.
Although, that’s an accomplishment my number one priority is my education. My GPA is 3.0-3.2. That is top priority in my family. “Bad grades, No Sports” that’s how I was raised, so I hold true to be disciplined in my studies as well.
I feel as if I am a good candidate on and off the court. I am coachable, team player, slow to anger, disciplined and a hard worker. I would love an opportunity to play on a college team.
