I am a Senior at Harrah High School. I have played basketball since first grade including AAU, which I started in second grade. I have played with the Oklahoma Lady Bombers, Oklahoma Select, Oklahoma Elite, Oklahoma Shock, and recently the Oklahoma Swish. I have traveled to play in Florida, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, New Orleans, Iowa, North Carolina, and Kentucky. Along the way winning several National tournaments including AAU Nationals (2 years consecutively), Prime Time Nationals (3 years consecutively), and MAYB (3 years consecutively). For my school ball team, I got to move up to Varsity my freshman year while playing on the freshman team and JV for a few games. Including getting to be apart of being a state runner up that year. In my sophomore year, I earned a starting position on Varsity and received the North Canadian River All-Conference Honorable Mention award. I typically play a point guard or a shooting guard. I am a big asset on the defensive end. Plus with my speed and endurance, I came to be known as the team's energizer bunny. I am hardworking, never give up, and am always in the gym trying to make myself to be the best I can possibly be, including skills training twice a week. Along with basketball, I also run cross country and track. I have qualified for state in cross country for the past three years and in track my freshman year. I got my mile down to a 5:40 and my 2 mile to a 12:53. Plus, this year in cross country I received Honorable Mention. I also train with a certified speed and agility coach to help improve my skills in both of my sports. I strive for the best on the court but, also, off the court. In school I have a 4.33 GPA, take part in the LEO club, Harrah Future Leaders, was Class Reporter for two years and now am the Class President, and I am the Treasurer for the National Honor Society.
