Haley Cook '20 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Haley Cook, and I am a junior at Marysville High School in Marysville, Ohio.   I am currently involved in FFA , basketball, cross country, and track. I have earned a varsity letter in all three sports since my freshman year.  My sophomore year in basketball I was a starter on varsity, and I won MHS Best Defensive Player Award.  I played AAU basketball for Ohio Sports Plus during my 7th and 8th grade years; I played AAU for SMAC during my 9th grade.   This year I played in a fall basketball league run through Ohio Sports Plus while competing in cross country to help prepare me for the upcoming basketball season.  I have been to many basketball camps throughout my summers including the University of North Carolina team camp, Ashland, and University of Findlay shooting camp.  This year, I am playing AAU for Better Than Yesterday (BTY).  My style of basketball is very much uptempo - high energy running type of game.  My strengths include free throw shooting, driving to the basket, defending, and assists.  I am a versatile player.  My positions consist of doing the jump ball to playing a shooting guard and forward.  I am comfortable playing whatever position my coach and team need me to play. 

I enjoy playing sports and being active, but animals are also my passion.  I volunteer as much as I can at our local humane society.  I am currently in a veterinary pathway in school which will give me the opportunity to intern with a local veterinarian.  

I plan on attending college to study animal science.  Throughout my high school career, I have been very active in sports, academics, and volunteering.  I have earned the scholar-athlete award in every sport I have played since my freshman year.  I am also a member of the National Honor Society.  I think playing basketball in college is something I can balance with my academics, and I look forward to the challenge.  

Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon!
