Courtney Chase '13 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'10" junior guard from Long Valley, NJ. My dominant dribbling hand is my right, but I shoot with my left. I have 3 years of varsity experience and 2 years of AAU, this summer being my third. My freshmen year I played on both JV and varsity, my sophomore year I was the 6th man on varsity, and this year I started on varsity. I played on the New Jersey Northstars for AAU, but this spring/summer I am playing for United Basketball out of North Hunterdon, New Jersey. I currently have a 3.7 GPA. Playing college athletics has been a dream of mine ever since I can remember. I want to pursue this desire at what I believe are the best fit levels for me, the DII or DIII level. However, I am open to all level opportunities. I work hard both at practice and on the court, encouraging my teammates when needed. I am a very serious player, but I like to have fun and enjoy the game as much as possible. I am also looking for a college where I can make an impact both on the team and in the classroom. Ideally, I would like to attend a college on the East Coast that has an outstanding program in Journalism. I lived in Massachusetts until fifth grade, when my family moved to New Jersey. I have family on the East Coast and would love to be closer to them. I have a desire to write, especially pertaining to sports. A school with a strong Journalism program would allow me to pursue this career. I know that athletics can only take me so far; therefore, a good education is very important to have.
