How was your season last year at South Pointe?
This past season at South Pointe was great besides losing in the second round of the playoffs. I enjoyed being the leader of the team. It was such a great team full of great teammates and being able to help them become better players was fun
How was AAU playing with Upward Stars York County?
I really enjoyed AAU and I’m going to miss it. This past season probably has been the best AAU season i’ve had I think it went well. I gained a lot interest from different schools in all three levels like D1, D2, and D3 schools and playing for coach was a good experience.
He probably is one of best coaches I’ve had. He has always been hard on me because he know how good i can be and can’t thank him enough for that. He has developed my game and taught me how to be a really point guard and getting others involved and actually knowing the game of basketball.
How have you improved from the end of the high school season?
I have improved my game in many ways. I attack the rim better and I’m starting to finish over bigger defenders and just knowing the game.
What are you looking forward to next year at South Pointe?
I’m looking forward to going to state championship for my senior season and getting Coach Watson and everybody else and I their first ring.
How is your recruiting going?
My recruitment is going good. Not quite where I want it but i can’t complain. Nobody has offered yet.
