About Drew

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style is that I am like a silent assassin. I allow my game to talk for me out there without saying a word. I take a lot of pride on the defensive end as I know that’s how championships are won. Defense first mentality! On the offensive end I just take what the defense gives me. I use my IQ of the game to make the best basketball play possible each possession.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am a self starter that loves to accomplish goals that I have set for myself. I am detail oriented with a No Quit Attitude! I take pride on my effort, energy and attitude on the court and in life. I give maximum effort at all times, I keep high energy throughout and I always keep a positive attitude regardless. I know if I control those 3 things I will always win in life.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I have received student of the month a few times since Middle School. I take pride in leading by example.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I volunteer as much as possible at school helping teachers with small tasks. In the classroom when we get paired up for assignments or projects I always take the lead to ensure my classmates stay on task. All the teams I have played on I have been a team captain. I am a Leader and not a follower.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

The death of my grandfather while he was in prison hit me hard at a young age while in Elementary. With the help of my parents and sister I am now at ease with the passing of him. My 8th grade season I lost my head coach due to personal reasons for him, that was hard to handle but I overcame that and helped my team collect its 3rd straight Championship.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for colleges that will help me become what I want to be in my adult life. That is Electrical Engineering. I am looking at Colleges on the East Coast right now. I would like to attend a faith based college that offers basketball and my field of study I am interested in.

Payne might be the lone true point guard of this group and he leans into that role on the floor. He’s a strong and skilled ballhandler and quickly developing scorer. Payne’s had incredible moments against some high level competition that his school schedules annually. Payne might not overcome you with explosive moves but his court vision and willingness to always find teammates in scoring position defines him as a player.

5. Very talented player looks to attack down hill great shifty guard with tons of moves in his bag. A very elite ball handler that can get you going one way and has excellent C.O.D. change of direction skill. Crafty is a great word to describe this gym rat also known for his IQ and underrated knock down shooter when this kid plays to his potential. He’s a tough out every night. Look for him to make an immediate contribution for the Indians of Sissonville. Definitely one you wanna keep your eye on.
