Sophomore year we were in conference semifinals and the semifinals of a 40 school regional tournament. Junior year we were 2nd place in our conference and in the semifinals of the same regional tournament.

In the PBS tournament I've been made a team captain for the all stars match. I was selected for this position out of 17 school teams.

One of my teacher recommendations is going to be very good and the other is going to be absolutely fantastic. My counselor rec is going to be average.</p>
