#11 @ Monsignor K...Personal Statement
As a starting player who is a prolific perimeter scorer and defender, I love the game. Hoop Group certified my 35pt games during their Spring Jam April 2017. I have good court vision, a high basketball IQ, and will and determination to be the best I can possibly be. I understand what it takes to be a team player, a team leader, and a winner. Not only do I work on my game, I work to be a successful student athlete, academically achieving the Honor Roll each quarter and taking challenging coursework. I value my education and academics equally to my athletics. I take pride in improving myself on and off the court, and I am a person of high character who lives to exceed expectations. I am constantly working on ways to get better. I take criticism well. I have brought my team to multiple wins this 2017/2018 basketball season, making it to the quarter finals. I won MVP of the NYC Mayor's Cup as Best in the City 2018, see NYCHoops.net - "NYC Mayor’s Cup Runneth Over with Blowouts"---
https://nychoops.rivals.com/news/nyc-mayor-s-cup-runneth-over-with-blowouts ---I will be in a number of high profile showcases this Spring and Summer.
