Mya Shannon '18 Recruiting Profile

I have grown up in the same small town throughout my life.  It has been my dream to play basketball in college for quite some time now.  From the time I was in sixth grade, I wanted to move up and I couldn't wait to play in high school.  Two weeks after I graduated eighth grade I was playing with girls that were going to be seniors.   At the end of my freshman season, I am already excited to extend my career into college. 

I am a very well rounded athlete.  Throughout my life I have played basketball, soccer, softball, track, cross country, volleyball and was a gymnast for almost 10 years.  My freshman year I was the number one runner on my cross country team and placed 43rd in the state finals.  I then went on to play basketball, starting on the varsity team.  We then finished our season with a 19-9 record.  Which was the best record our organization had in 6 seasons.  I was not the leading scorer, but was second behind a senior who is going on a full ride scholarship to UMSL who also made the all state team.  I did not make first team all conference but did receive honorable mention.  I am now starting on the varsity soccer team, who has won regionals the past two years.  Also, over the summer I will continue to play in a travel softball league.  My intention at the moment is to continue to be a three sport athlete throughout all four years.  

 I am also in every honors class I have the opportunity to be in.  I am a very big people person that always has an upbeat attitude and l get along with a very wide variety of people.  I love the game of basketball and I would give up almost anything to continue to play this game.
