Personal Statement
My name is Mason Mandell. I am in the graduating class of 2025. I go to Bishop Blanchet High School, Seattle Washington. I am a 6'0 small forward and shooting guard player. I started playing recreational in grades 1-3, then moved to an AAU program in 4th grade. My main strengths are defense, and finishing, but I can also shoot the three ball. My quickness and strength allow me to get passed my defender and finish through contact, and my high vertical leap allows me to get up to a point where it is hard to block my shot. I take any chance I can get to get in the gym to practice. I am also involved in football which helps me be more of a well-rounded athlete. I am dedicated in not only becoming a successful athlete, but a student as well. I am currently sitting at a 3.5 GPA with A's and B's. I enjoy being part of a team and working toward a successful future together. I hope this high school and AAU season creates growth for me as an athlete and a person. I sincerely love the game of basketball, and I am looking forward to playing more basketball later on in my life.
