Mathew Pina '20 Recruiting Profile

Hello,

My name is Mathew James Pina, current senior at Calexico High School. I am currently the starting point guard for Calexico High School Basketball; I am 5'8 and weigh in at 135 pounds. I will be graduating June 2020 from Calexico High School. I have been playing basketball since I was 4 years old and love the game as it has opened up so many opportunities for me. I have played with 2 Club teams as starting point guard as well Calexico Heat (6 year) and Calexico Prospects (3 years). My current GPA is 3.13 overall and scored a 1010 on my SAT's. I am very involved in my school culture. I am also part of Calexico High School Future Farmers of America (FFA) for the past 2 years I have been working with fair animals such as rabbits, goats, lambs pigs etc.. I also volunteer with the city of Calexico Parks and Recreation training and coaching young children the game of basketball on the weekends. Recently I attended a tryout and made the team for Student Athlete World USA basketball to compete in Europe in the World Games in June 2020.

This past 2019 Summer I competed in 3 tournaments and attended 3 university elite camps. First Tournament was in Yuma Arizona where we went 4-2. Second tournament was at Imperial CA. we went 6-0, and the last big tournament was at San Diego State University were we went against top High Schools like Pinnacle Arizona, at this tournament we went 4-3. This last tournament was my favorite it pushed me to a higher level of competition. The Camps I attended were Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Monterrey Bay and Breakthrough Basketball.

One of my goals and dreams is to play college basketball. I know my limitations as an athlete with my size, however I give 110% and earn my spot by been a leader in and out of the court. My main goal is to receive my college education and become a productive citizen.

Thank You,

Mathew James Pina
