Team History
Freshman Football (2019-2019), Varsity Football (2020-2021)
Elevating my commitment and skills, I transitioned to the Varsity Football team, showcasing resilience and adaptability. This experience not only honed my physical abilities but also sharpened my strategic thinking and leadership qualities as we faced challenging opponents and worked collaboratively to achieve shared goals.
JV Basketball (2019-2020), Varsity Basketball (2019-2023, Captain in 2023)
My journey culminated in a four-year commitment to the Varsity Basketball team, where I demonstrated unwavering dedication, perseverance, and leadership. Was apart of JV team freshman year but got called up to varsity after JV season ended that same year. Serving as team captain in my senior year, I embraced the responsibility of guiding and motivating my teammates, fostering a positive and cohesive team environment. This leadership role enhanced my communication skills, strategic thinking, and ability to thrive under pressure, contributing to our team's success on the court.
