Q and A
Give me a short scouting report on yourself as a player. What are your strengths?
- My strengths are using my dribble and court vision to create scoring opportunities for my teammates and myself. I am always looking for the best scoring opportunities for my teammates. I pride myself with my defense and never giving up.
Can you tell us one unusual thing about yourself that others may not know?
- I have a twin brother and I love dogs.
What's the best part of playing high school basketball and why?
- The best part of high school basketball is the memories you create. Your teammates become your family on and off the court.
Tell me about the outlook for your team this year. What are the strengths of your team?
- I think this year we have a strong outlook. My team is small and quick and we will use that to our advantage.
What other activities are you involved in at the high school level?
- Cross country, track and field, jazz choir, YIA (volunteering).
What type of training do you do in the offseason?
- During the offseason I am involved with AAU, basketball camps, high school summer league, and shooting dribbling in the gym on my own.

Breakdown featuring our daily spotlight players
Every weekday until the official high school sports seasons begin (an unknown date with the current world situation), BREAKDOWN SPORTS will be featuring a spotlight player in each of the seven sports we cover!
With the high school sports world on pause, THE BREAKDOWN wants to make sure these athletes are recognized for their accomplishments on the field, court, rink, diamond, etc.
The schedule of spotlight players will be as follows:
- Monday: softball
- Tuesday: baseball
- Wednesday: girls' volleyball
- Thursday: boys' and girls' basketball
- Friday: boys' and girls' hockey
Each of our spotlight players will have action and posed photos, as well as the Q and A information they provided for this past year's Breakdown book in their respective sport.
