WHAT MEMORIES DO YOU TAKE AWAY WITH YOU AS YOU LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL?

“My best memory is getting 30 points against a 6A team. That was a big deal for me and it was my first year showing what I’m capable of.”

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS?

“My advice is to build a connection with your teachers because if you don’t have that, they won’t be able to understand. Some teachers have never been athletes so they don’t understand how hard it is. Work in your free time because basketball takes up a lot of my time but in my free time I make sure I get things done.”

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER YOU GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL?

“I plan to go to college and major in Sports Management.”
