It’s high school basketball that you have found to enjoy at the age of 16. You live in Newport, Maine a state that is unknown to so many. You have just seen Cooper Flagg just get drafted pick 1 out of Duke in the NBA draft.

Watching him get drafted made you feel so proud for the state that you come from. The next day you’re shooting hoops in the school gym oblivious to your surroundings and who was there. Nokomis Regional High was the school you attended and a lot of people knew about your future stardom.

It was another high school game you were playing shooting guard and small forward. You didn’t think your phone would blow up with messages from scouts. You scored 18 points, 7 assists and 5 boards. Except it happened afterwards and after you opened your phone your future stardom was made. Your phone rings, it was your coach after the game.
