Cora Watson '20 Recruiting Profile

I have dreamed about playing college basketball since I first touched a ball.  Growing up in a very small town, and going to a small high school I never thought this dream could become a reality until my oldest sister received a basketball scholarship.  I began to work harder than ever before both in the gym and in the classroom.  My goals to playing collegiant basketball are simple: I want to continue to grow and learn as player and a person.  

As I said, I live in a small town in the Texas panhandle.  I have five brothers and sisters which makes eight in our household.  I am used to a lot of noise and always having someone around.  On the court, is "my place."  It is where I get to be me, and not "a Watson" or "One of the twins."  I have three younger siblings, a twin sister entering college, and one sister already in college that my parents are financially helping.   We are used to working hard, we were made too.  

Being part of a college basketball team will help with this next transition in my life.  Not only will it help, but hopes of gaining a scholarship  is essential for me to continue my education.  I am active in nearly ever organization and activity that our school has to offer: one act play, science bowl, yearbook, theatre, and UIL are to name a few.  I know no different than to be active.  Not only do I play basketball, but I participate in track and cross country.  I have made it to regionals in both every year of high school.  I set personal goals, and I achieved them!
