About Me

Well the one thing you should know about me Im intrigue with the game of basketball and that is my one love. The month of December year 2014 my senior of high school I joined the Legacy Christian Varsity girls basketball team. The last time I played basketball for team was in the eighth grade only because through out the years I had broken my both wrists four different times. But I thought to myself my senior year you love the game of basketball and chances are after you graduate you'll never get to play for a team again. When I joined I was so nervous only because everyone has more experience then I did. I played in my backyard or with friends but not with actual team and coaches in about four years. Also there was this one girl on the basketball team who was supposedly suppose to be ranked number four in the nation and she was only a freshman her name was Alexis Morris, I had spanish class with her and she was telling my classmates all of this and we didn't believe her. So she said google me and we did all of are mouths dropped open. She was the female Michael Jordan she was one the who really talked me into playing because they needed more girls. We only had seven people on are team everyone said we wouldn't go far and that we would be the joke at Legacy Christian Academy. But no one really knew about Alexis Morris, She averaged about thirty points per game and I averaged about 13. By the year 2017 she's suppose to be ranked number one guard in the country. Every practice LSU, Baylor, and A&M would come and scout her and it was very intimidating. She knew she was the best but she was your typical basketball player who hogged the ball. One game we were playing West Orange Stark it was 50 to 48 at half time we were in locker and are coaches were yelling at us because it shouldn't have been that close we should've been blowing them out. Alexis started talking to the team and she looked at me and everyone else and said I might be number four in the nation but it takes a team to win not just one player and all of you have special job on this team. She also quoted Lebron James and said ''Don't be afraid of failure this is the way to succeed.'' That moment I fell in love with the game of basketball. We ended up winning that game and after that we won all the rest of are games and became District champs and also went to third round of playoffs we were also a 1A school with seven people on the team. That day in that locker room when she quoted Lebron James something just clicked in me and I fell in love with the game because of her and I also found myself playing basketball. I found a reason to wake up everyday again basketball gave me motivation to do better in school and also to be a better person.
