My name is Ty Howard and I am a sophomore at Smokey Mountain High School in Sylva NC. I have played all positions as a basketball player. I think my strengths are shooting and defense . I love playing basketball, and like any kid I have dreams of playing in college then the NBA, I will do whatever I can to get there. I feel like I have a lot of ambition and try to push myself to be better. My father was a professional athlete and he’s always telling me how important the mental part of sports is and how dedicated I have to be to reach my goals. Wherever I play, I want to help my team to win and do the best I possibly can.
