Kate Jones '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Kate Jones.  I am a 5'10" left-handed guard on the Greensboro Day School Girls' Varsity basketball team.  I was named All-Conference my freshman, sophomore and junior seasons.  I received the Davis-Richmond Award my junior year.  I also play on the Greensboro Lady Gaters, an AAU team.  Being the little sister of two older brothers definitely influenced the way I grew up.  There was almost always some kind of competition going on.  I learned to be tough, and I learned how to lose, although I never enjoyed the losing part.  I began playing basketball in the 3rd grade, and in 5th grade, my rec coach told my parents I was coachable and had real potential.  That's when I decided I wanted to work hard and see where basketball could take me.  I am open to different types of colleges and would like to explore all of my options.  I love the game of basketball - I feel my strengths are defensive play, a strategic basketball IQ and the ability to score at all three levels on the floor.  I bring high energy and am motivated by defensive play that naturally brings a productive offense.
