Mackenzie McKown '22 Recruiting Profile

My ultimate goal is to attend a four-year university and play on a basketball team where my academics and abilities as a basketball player will help me achieve my full potential. I not only want to become a successful athlete, but a student as well. My passion for basketball started when I played in a local sports league in first grade. From then on, my passion for basketball grew. I continued to hone my skills by joining an AAU team (Just Play Sports) in fourth grade, and I've played on their elite team ever since. I started on Memorial High School’s varsity basketball team as a freshman and I received numerous district awards as well as the Tina Young Award of Excellence from my coach. My biggest strengths are my versatility on the court and my basketball IQ.  I am currently playing Spring AAU basketball with the Just Play Elite 16U team as well as ongoing training and conditioning to enhance my skill set to prepare to compete at the college level. Creating a future through the game I love would be an unbelievable experience.
