Personal Statement
~~My name is Janae Gray (4.3 GPA), and I am a senior from Redding, California. I am very interested in playing college basketball!
I am in my 4th year as a starting varsity guard at Enterprise High School (D-3). Our team has advanced to the State Quarter and Semi-Finals the last 2 years. Our team has won 82 games while I have been a starter and I hope to reach my goal of 100 varsity wins for my career this season.
My team just graduated 4 scholarship players 3 of which were our front court starters so my role this year will have to expand in all phases. The past 3 years I have been the primary post feeder, 3-point shooter (150 made 3’s), and big shot taker. This year we have to emphasize our 5-out and 1-4 double high post offenses. I will be attacking the basket and making plays so it will be a great way to show my whole game. This summer I played with my high school team for the AAU season because I wanted to get better with our young players that will need this coming year.
It was tough choice because I realize the big club AAU players get the most recruiting attention. I chose leading my teammates and testing myself in the role I will have to perform to finish my EHS career just like I stared it. “Winning on and off the court”. I am looking for a Coach and a program that needs players like me.
Thanks for your time and consideration!
Best of luck to you this basketball season!
Janae Gray
