2023 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a fierce physical defender with strong ball-handling skills and a high basketball I.Q. I am a team player, very coachable, and I assist in helping my teammates to succeed. Defensively, my coach consistently trusts me to shut down our opponent's best player, and I execute those challenges for my team. Although I am able to excel in other sports, I choose to work hard year-round on my basketball skills. I have competed on AAU teams since I was in the fourth grade. I am currently a starter for the Erie Irish, an AAU National USJN Blue Star Travel League.
I am also academically dedicated to my studies. I currently have a QPA of 5.0, and earned a 4.0 last quarter. I take AP classes and was selected to participate in a dual enrollment program through Gannon University, as well as inducted into the National Honor Society.
I have been playing basketball since I was six years old. My love of basketball has motivated me to strive to play at the collegiate level. I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the basketball court. I am ready for the challenge and excited to see what my future holds.
