About Cory

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am an all around player. I can play defense, handle the ball, shoot the mid range and the 3 ball, get to the rack, finish through contact, and play help-side defense.

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

My mentality is to win in everything I do. It doesn’t matter if I’m in the classroom or on the court I want to be the best version of myself possible.

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

I have received non sports awards. I have received the district academic award for having a 4.0 GPA throughout the season. I have had a 4.0 GPA ever since the 3rd grade. I am involved with the language immersion program at my school. I have been speaking Chinese for 8 years and will continue to for as long as I can. I have also been in talks with some companies in potential brand deals.

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

Over the past year I have developed lots of leadership. I have became a better leader on and off the court. My talking on both sides of the ball has gotten better and every time my teammates make a mistake instead of yelling at them, I just say next play or it’s fine get it back the next possession.

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

Yes I have. The biggest challenge I faced was making Team United. When I came in I was a nobody only known around in Columbia. Despite that I was still a pretty good player and I could tell no one really thought I was. Until we scrimmaged and I showed what I could really do. I did so good that my coach asked me to come back, and then here I am now.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college with above average academic scores and provides classes for different languages.

Cory has been one of PCH’s best players in March and April. He led them in scoring in the Big Shots Southeast Tip Off and followed up with a big weekend at the NXT Pro Session 1. James is a composed weapon inside the paint with strength through contact and soft touch at the rim. I’ve heard plenty of good things about Cory and company, so I’m excited to get eyes on them this weekend in Rock Hill.
