Zachary Hamilton '21 Recruiting Profile

I am Zachary Hamilton, a 6’2” senior at Belleville East High School with a 4.06 GPA.  A special attribute that sets me apart is my work ethic. With everything I do in life, I work hard and do it to the best of my abilities.  I was taught at a young age that perfect practice makes perfect, to give 100% effort, and to not take any drill lightly. When I go to practice, I look to get better and to challenge myself. This philosophy is how I help my teammates as well by motivating them to work their hardest and pushing them to be the best they can be. I encourage them when they might feel like giving up.  I also pride myself on my education and trying to obtain as much knowledge as possible. I am enrolled in a CEO class in which I get business experience and talk to different entrepreneurs in our area. I hope to be a business owner one day, and this class will prepare me to be a business major in college. My goal at the collegiate level is to continue to get better at basketball and help my team win games. I love every aspect of basketball, and I would be extremely grateful to play in college and would not take the opportunity for granted.
