Javon Smith '16 Recruiting Profile

It's been my dream to play collegiate basketball ever since I was a young child I've worked really really hard to get to where I am today. What I think really save me as a person is my experiences growing up in PG County. Where I was subject to a lot of violence and other conditions; I think that's what turned me into the the basketball player and the person I am today I had to persevere and overcome a lot of a lot of problems I face after my freshman year of high school. I moved to Howard county to I was living with my aunt and uncle. This gave me a really really good opportunity to become a much better student as well as a much better basketball player when I arrive at Centennial high school, I was able to raise my grades and really get the the work and the starting and I need to get in without much the distractions I faced in the past and I really worked hard I raise my grades.I also began to lift and workout twice a day to become better at my craft. Since then I have been on the team for my highschool and several travel teams. Last year I won a state championship as a junior and hope to do the same as a captain my senior year. It's been my dream to play collegiate basketball really excited to start the process and begin my journey.
