Freshman Highlights
2018-2020 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I've dreamed of playing college basketball since I was in the 3rd grade and I have been working hard for it since then. The highlight of my High School career thus far was my freshman season. I saw solid and consistent minutes on Varsity as a Freshman even though the team was stacked with talent and 7 Seniors. We went undefeated in the regular season and I played with an incredible group of teammates and some of the best Seniors in the state. Although we fell short of the state championship, I developed a lot as a player that year and I believe the season helped to build a chip on my shoulder and a fire to get back there and win it. This chip has allowed me to improve since that loss and made me work even harder. I'm a good candidate for your team because of my work ethic, competitive drive, leadership qualities, desire to be a good teammate and this chip on my shoulder makes me willing to compete against anyone!

A local sports film and photography entrepreneur approached me about doing a documentary. He filmed during my entire Junior Year and released a 6 episode documentary on his YouTube Page. It is called: A Gold Ball Quest.
He is found on YouTube as XRighty.
