Messiah James '23 Recruiting Profile

My goal has always been to be a great basketball player and to take this game to another level.  I work diligently on the game of basketball. I spend countless hours during and after the season to strengthen every area of my game.  I began my high school career on junior varsity in the 9th grade as starter. My 10th grade year I was added to the varsity team. Even though I played on a team that consisted of majority seniors I worked hard and earned a spot as the 6th man before the season ended. My 11th grade year the team consist of many strong young players.  As one of the two captains on my team and a seasoned player I took my role seriously.  I have led my team to several victories as one of the lead scorers and rebounders.  My position is a power forward, but I have the ability to play every position on the court, including point guard (which I taught myself to play over the season).  Currently, I am ranked as the 13th top 3-point shooter in the 3a division for the state of NC. I am ranked #43 in rebounding, #51 in scoring, #48 in assists, and #78 in steals.
