On the court I pride myself on the ability to play multiple positions and I work hard at both ends of the court. On my high school team, I play the guard positions mainly with some small forward duty. On my AAU team, I am asked to play a lot at the small forward, power forward, and some center/5.

My High School team plays in one of the toughest and most competitive 4A conferences in the state.   has come a long way from our first year. This year we finished 16-11. While we didn't achieve a conference or state championship, we were competitive and battled many of the best teams in the state and had some great wins. Individually, I had career highs in all categories but assist. In the conference, I was in top 6 in points, rebounds, field goals made, and steals (top 10 in blocks). This was achieved in a season where I was asked to sometimes play the 4, and 5 position. Besides being out sized many times, I averaged a double double 4 of the last 5 games.
