I had always played in middle school, but when I started high school, I quit basketball to row crew year-round. I loved crew, making new friends at a new school. Unfortunately, in my sophomore year, the team began to crumble as coaches were being replaced. Thus, I decided to join the basketball team for the winter season, taking a break from crew.

magnificent is the sport of basketball. Now, in my senior year at Cedar Park High School, I am playing on the varsity team. This will be my second year competing at the varsity level for basketball, but gaining the ability to be a decent competitor at this level did not come with ease. My current success required endless amounts of hard work, determination, and the everlasting desire to become successful. Starting much earlier than most kids, I began playing basketball at the age of just four…

It’s the biggest change my life has ever sent my way. Every athlete looks forward to their senior year, and look forward to playing on varsity.…
