Personal Statement

I LOVE the game of basketball!!! As a student with a 4.1 GPA / 27 ACT and a three-year varsity starter on my high school team, I am able to balance schoolwork and playing basketball while maintaining my many friendships, both on and off the court. I am now a freshman women's basketball player @ Lynn University & carry a 4.0 college GPA. My name was recently entered into the NCAA Transfer Portal. I am looking to transfer because Lynn does not offer business accounting and/or economics degrees. Therefore, from an academic perspective, Lynn is no longer the right fit for my remaining college years. I am looking to transfer to a new college basketball home for the 2019-20 season.

School Recordholder – 1) Most 3-Pointers in a Game with 8, & 2) Most 3-Pointers in a Season with 60 (previous records dated 2013 w/6 & 54 by Taylor Agler)

4/6/18 OHSAA District-11 All-Star Game - With 23 points, led All-Star Team to a WIN, going 7 of 9 from 3.

Senior Year - Varsity Captain & MVP - Led Team of 13 Players in Points (11.5 ppg), Rebounds (5.8 rpg), & Assists (3.5 apg)

https://prospectsnation.com/player/mckenna-ford#campbr-evaluations. Elite Basketball Academy - Top prospects working, competing, and training in front of Prospects Nation evaluation staff. "Ford is a versatile forward capable of hitting perimeter jumpers, leading the fast break or providing interior defense for her team. Her ball skill and vision allow her to act as a point-forward in the half-court. Yet her strength around the basket is evident as she is able to snatch rebounds out of the air and secure them safely. Her versatility is a strength on both ends of the court. However, working on footwork and lateral explosion will allow her to defend perimeter spots more effectively."

McKenna Ford (Jr. Olentangy Orange)- "She is an outside-inside player and bang you getting to the rim. Very physical player with deep range. Good handles & around the basket, she is very strong. When it comes to physicality, she is your girl. Needs to use the left side of the court better and more often, even though she has a good left hand. With her strength and ability to shoot from deep, she can be a matchup nightmare."

She created scoring opportunities in game play by making back cuts and finding the open spots on the court. Her ability to maximize her lateral quickness will be important for her to defend her position moving forward." https://youtu.be/J_owDHlWpD4?list=PL4eJeeGzZY5aWE14kBf83uxeMdrjKr2vZ

"Ford showed herself to be a knockdown shooter at the EBA Top 40 Camp. Standing at 5-10, she has great size for the wing position. With her build and size, she can affect the game inside and out. That versatility should prove to be valuable in upcoming years. The area we would like to see growth is on the defensive end. Improving her footwork and anticipation should help her become more effective."
