Khloe Karnes '27 Recruiting Profile

A basketball has been in my hand for as long as I can remember.  I've enjoyed playing basketball with my older brother and his friends since I was a small child. As a result, I became a confident, strong player.  You learn quickly when you are playing with boys that are 3 years older than you. Since then, I have aspired to play basketball at the highest level.  Being a collegiate athlete is a once in a lifetime honor that could change my whole life.  

I have strong ball handling skills, speed, strong physical defense, mental toughness, and a high basketball IQ.  I am a team leader.  This comes naturally to me.  I encourage my teammates to do their best and I lead by example.  I am the first one at the gym and the last one to leave.  I spend most of my free time training and perfecting my skills.  I strive to be one of the hardest working players in the game.  I will be one of the hardest working and coachable players you can find.  

I work hard year-round on my basketball skills participating in my Varsity Basketball team and AAU.  I also train at X-Gen Elite basketball facility with some of the best coaches in my area.  I have played for several of their travel teams for the past two years.  Additionally, I have been a starting player on Varsity Soccer, and Varsity Track where I run the hurdles.  I have been told by several coaches that I am a natural athlete and that is a compliment that I take pride in.

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain Honor Roll status every marking period.  Inducted into the National Junior Honor Society, Builder's Club, Student Council, and I am a Building Leader who meets with school administrators as a liaison between them and students.  I volunteer with our community and various organizations.  I am a member of our local Roman Catholic Church and am very involved with my family.  

My ultimate goal is to be a collegiate athlete and attend college to obtain a medical degree.  I would strive to push myself on the court and the classroom and give it my all.  I am open to all options and want to ideally find the best match for me.  My vision for my future is to be the best me possible so I can be a role model to my peers, help my community and make my parents proud.  This can ALL be achieved through hard work and dedication.  I am excited to see where this path will take me.
