q&a
What is your team motto?
The Gwynn Park High School boy's basketball team motto is "The Next Man Up"
What one piece of advice do you have for freshman about being a successful high school student athlete?
I would advise freshman not to mess up academically and don't get yourself into trouble. You don't get the time back and it matters.
What is your favorite highlight from this year?
In prior years, our team suffered humiliating losses to Douglass High School, our arch rivals. My favorite highlight from this year was upsetting Douglass twice this year. I had 18 points , 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in the first game. I had 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist in the second game. The second game determined which team would go to the regional championship. Gwynn Park ended up winning the 2A Regional Championship.
What training habit has the most impact on your performance?
Lifting weights to become stronger has impacted my performance as a basketball player.
What have you learned from your coach that you will never forget?
As the team captain, my coach taught me the value of having great relationships with my teammates and it showed in our performance this season.
