2018 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I dream to play college basketball on a team where I can really make an impact, and continue developing my skills and athleticism. I like playing team basketball with high IQ players. I am a tough defender and can guard the 2-5 well. I have perfected my post skills and am working hard to develop my face up game and shooting. I shoot on the Noah with a shooting coach weekly and it rates me as an expert 2, which is a high division one level shot. I am working hard to implement my shot into games. I have won two CIF championships in basketball and have earned 7 varsity letters playing three different sports at a high level. I like to work hard on and off the court. I'm hungry to get better.
