Personal Statement

My name is Alexander.  My friends and coaches call me "X".  This past season, my post grad team won the Prep National Championship with a 37-6 record.  I scored 1,024 points, and was selected All-Conference at The-Skill-Factory (TSF) in Atlanta, GA.  I was voted Team Captain, and I averaged 25 PPG.  I was a three year starter in High School.  I averaged 24 PPG playing point guard my senior year, and became the All-Time Leading Scorer at VVHS.  I was selected All-State, and All-State All-Tournament Team two years in a row.  I was also selected as the 2015 Wendy's Arkansas Men's Basketball Player of the Year.   

My college career accolades include 15.5 PPG over 4 years, 2 NCAA tournament appearances, Conference Champion, All-Tournament Team, City of Brotherly Love Rookie of the Year, 2x All Conference (in two different conferences), 3x Captain, 3x All-Academic Team, and many more player/team/academic honors.
