Emily Russo '13 Recruiting Profile

Updated August 2012:  I have verbally committed play basketball at University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)  in the America East Conference (http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/howard/sports/ph-ho-cf-hs-bits-0816-20120814,0,6082085.story).  Thank you for your interest - Emily

I am a 5'7" left-handed Junior at Glenelg High School and also play AAU basketball for the Maryland Grizzlies:  The 3-yr MD AAU D1 State Champs and 2011 Champions at the USA Invitational at Penn State.  Academics are very important to me; currently I have a 4.0 GPA (4.8 weighted, uploaded transcript does not include 11th grade).  In my Junior high school season, I was honored as the Howard County Player of the Year and named to the 1st Team All-Metro (Baltimore Sun newspaper). I led the team with 422 points and have a total of 965 3-year HS career points.  I also led in the most assists (3.4/game), steals (4.4/game) and total shooting percentage (57%).  I am a leader on the court, and give it my best 100% of the time. I like to give up good shots for great shots, and believe heart and determination are two key ingredients in success. My dream is to play college basketball.  For more current highlight videos, goto www.youtube.com and search for Russo Glenelg , and email me at [email protected] for an updated PDF of my Sports Resume.  The Maryland Grizzlies will be at the Boo Williams Invitational 4/20-4/22, USA Invitational at York (formally Penn State) 7/5-7/8, Battle In the Boro 7/13-7/15 and USJN DC 7/26-7/29.
