Personal Statement

My name is Ridge Tefft, I am a senior at Litchfield High School in Litchfield Mi and I play AAU Basketball for Team Detroit. My love for basketball came at a very young age. When I was 7 or 8, my father rented the movie "The Birth of A Legend, The Pistol Pete Maravich story". From that point on Pete became my favorite player. I have collected every item I can get my hands on, and have over 300 of his memorabilia items in my collection. One of the first items I added was his Homework Basketball video series. Those have been very valuable to me as I have worked on those drills for many years. I began playing AAU when I was in third grade and have played on the travel basketball circuit for the past 9 years, averaging 50-70 games played a year between AAU and school basketball. I have had a lot of guidance as my grandfather was a high school and college coach, and my father has coached some of the travel teams that I have played on. In 2008 I was a member of the Michigan Mavericks and we won the National title in our division. It was so fun playing in front of the big crowds and at that level. I led the team in points for the tourney and had 33 three point field goals in 5 games. By playing at a high level since I was young I thrive on competition and live for the big games and do not get nervous or rattled. We trailed by 11 points with 4 minutes to go in the national title game and my coach called a time out. He asked who could step up and hit some outside shots to get us back in it. I told him if they could hit me off a screen, I would hit the shots. On 3 consecutive trips down the floor I hit 3's to cut the lead to 2 points and our team held them scoreless the rest of the way and we won by one point. My dream since I was little was to go on and play college basketball like Pete. It does not matter what level I play as long as I am playing the game that I love. I am a team player and will do what it ever it takes to help the team win. Through my years of travel basketball I have had many experiences that have prepared me for the next level. On some of the teams I have been relied on to me the main scorer, on others my role was to feed the big men and generate assists and handle the ball, and sometimes I have been used to hit big 3's off the bench as a role player. Whatever, the role may be I am willing to work hard and do my best at it. What makes me unique is my ability to play several positions. I am a tall guard at 6"4 and I am still growing. My parents started me at a young age in school and I just turned 16 so I could have been a sophomore at this time. My father is 6'4 and my grandfather is 6'6 and our family generally matures late and I am in the midst of a growth spurt right now. I have trained the majority of my time at the guard position and possess very good court sense and ball handling skills for my size. The extra height allows me to see the court well and find open teammates. I am also able to drive well and dish off. It means a lot to me to be the best that I can be. I work out 2-3 hours daily between my shooting and fundamental drills and weightlifting. I am also a member of the cross country and track team and run approximately 30 miles a week. There is always room for improvement and I am always looking for ways to get better. This fall I moved back to my home district where I went as a youth. This is a great opporutunity for me, as my new team has many experienced players and we have an opportunity to make a strong tournament run.I am very excited abouth that. My academics are also very important to me going into Junior year I have a 3.67 gpa. currently at my new district I have an all A average and am working hard to bring the grade up rapidly. Currently I am in the top 5 in my class. I want to go into business or pharmaseudical studies when I go to college. I enjoy High School very much and am looking forward to college. Any opportunity I get to play at the next level will be appreciated very much and I will do whatever it takes to me successful at the next level. On the court and in the classroom!
