My sophmore year I made all Western Mass. and went to Five-Star basketball camp and won the best point guard award, which is a big deal. My junior year made all western mass. My senior year made the 1,000 point club, my highest scoring game in high school was 38 and my best all around game was 17 points, 10 assists and 11 steals, was a runner up for the best player in Western Mass. and made all Western Mass., was the best up-tempo guard in the region and was compared to Edgar Padilla. Went to a small D3 school in Newton, Mass (Lasell College) started as a freshman won a conference championship. Sophomore year score 40 points against the number four rank team and made the all conference team. Junior year was kept very short played in the beginning tournament and won m.v.p of the tournament.
