Matt Thomas Farmi...Personal Statement
My team is playing for the state championship this Friday and we are 32-2 . I want to be the best basketball player I can be. I have been blessed to start for my varsity team at Farmington High school as a Freshman, Sophomore and Junior. I served as team Captain my Junior year. My Senior Year I have transferred to Pea Ridge High School to live with my dad. I know what it takes to win and to be a leader and I am looking forward to a great Senior Year. I have won a lot of individual awards but i want to win a state title with my team. I have a great basketball iq and have been told I remind people of Larry Bird. I have high morals and want to make my family, coaches and teammates proud. I am not concerned with me, I am a TEAM PLAYER, willing to accept whatever role my coach gives me. Although I have scored over 2000 points so far in my career I don't have to be the leading score as long as my team wins. My team is currently ranked #2 in the state in my classification and we are 32 -2 . I am averaging 21 pts per game, 7 rebounds and 2 steals.
