Personal Statement
Some info on me as a player:
- Earned my Varsity letter my Freshman year for basketball.
- Played Freshman ball in 8th grade.
- Have played AAU ball for In the Zone (Platinum team/2021) for the past 3 seasons under Coach Bob Altmire.
My strengths would be: definitely strong on defense - and on offense I have been told by adults I am very hard to guard - I either drive and make the layup or I get fouled (or both). Normally the other team's coach will lay their biggest and most athletic guys on me. I am getting strong at driving to the left.
My JV coach Rick Hunsicker has also been my booster club coach from 2nd-6th grade and he taught us from the beginning to always play unselfishly #WeOverMe. I feel I always try to be a strong, supportive and unselfish teammate, with a strong basketball IQ. I take my game very seriously, but I don't take myself too seriously. I have always said I don't play for fun - I play to win. And winning is fun!
I have dreamed about playing professionally since I started playing in 2nd grade. I do not have a major for college just yet, I am starting to explore my interests and look at potential colleges. In school I work hard to keep my average up because I know that grades are important.
