2nd Half Sophomor...Mid-Season Sophom...David Gorsline: J...VARSITY FOOTBALL ...VARSITY BASKETBAL...VARSITY FOOTBALL ...Personal Statement
As a sophomore at Pleasant Valley, a Class 4A High School, I started every game, our team broke the school record for the most consecutive wins (22-0) and I broke the school record for most rebounds in a game. After working hard to overcome a significant high ankle injury during the early part of my junior year season, I finished the season strong and helped lead my team to the Iowa High School State Basketball Tournament where our team beat the number one seed and finished as a semi-finalist, losing to the team which won the tournament.
I have had a ball in my hand since I started walking. I love playing basketball and I want to take it to the collegiate level, if possible. I feel I would be an asset to any team because I have a very strong work ethic, a high basketball IQ and I am willing to do whatever a coach asks me to do. I work every day to improve and get better. My goal is to win and have a positive impact on my team in every way possible, whether it is shooting, assisting, rebounding, or defending.
I also have played tackle football since 3rd grade and I am a starter on my varsity football team which had an undefeated 2022 regular season. I believe that playing football has helped me be a stronger and tougher basketball player.
Academics are very important to me. I currently have a weighted GPA of 3.88 out of 4.0 and I am a National Honor Society member.
