Spooky Nook JamFe...Hun School Highli...Personal Statement
In 2021 we played 10 high quality prep games going 8-2 including a 2 points loss to nationally ranked Patrick School. Unfortunately there was no Mid Atlantic Prep League this year although we doubled up on Peddie School. This year I was able to increase my scoring to 17ppg (up from 13.5ppg last year) and also contributed 4rpg. I was proud to be named Trentonian Prep Player of the Year, Times of Trenton Prep Player of the Year and All Area Second Team and NJ Hoops Prep All State 1st team. Hun School played in two Mid Atlantic Live Events going 4-4 including a big win over St Benedicts Prep. I averaged 18ppg through these events. In the AAU season I played for New York Lightning 17U in Hoop Group Showcase League. We were champions of the New England JamFest beating Riverside Hawks UAA and Expression Elite EYBL in the final. We also reached the last 8 of the HGSL. I also recorded a career high of 38 points during the AAU season. Besides my love of basketball I am focused on my studies and I made the honor roll again this year and achieved a 1230 on the SAT at my first attempt. I continue to work really hard on my game and my physical and mental strength so that I can be a prospect to play basketball at the next level. I plan to spend two more years at the Hun School playing high level basketball and adding to my education. My family is very important to me and I am proud to have a brother in the Marines as well as two sisters who have already graduated college.
