Write your thoughts about the upcoming season? Coming from Lake Wales I am new to the city of Bartow. The
standard the coaches us players to is uncanny. There is no doubt in my mind that if we are able to blend our talent
together we can achieve the goal of winning a state championship. Even though obtaining a ring is most players goals, I
personally would like to form a brother hood with my teammates that would manifest on and off the court. In order to
exercise that goal I must give complete buy in to my team, something that is easier said than done. Bartow has showed
me that what I thought was hard work was actually light weight to the trials and work they have put me through. If we
push ourselves hard enough the goal of winning state will no longer be a dream but history!
What are your plans for life after high school? I am hopeful I can attend college on a basketball scholarship. I am not
sure what I want to major in is still a mystery to me. I love history, earth and space science, computers and video games.
I am hopeful there is a major in one of those for me. After college I plan on helping out the city of Lake Wales and as I
mature the whole county.
